Haven't you heard? PvPers are an endangered species and are no longer the scapegoats of the game. Ebil marketeers are the popular new objects of your disgust.

So clearly this had to be fixed because ebil marketeers would buy the IO, slot it, toggle it, respec it out, and flip it for huge profits, yet were still able to walk away from the market with 120 seconds of stealth.

For the record, my post of records/standings wasn't intended as evidence for retroactive changes. I wouldn't approve of retroactive changes and certainly wouldn't approve of starting over. The point was willy-nilly structureless voting = willy-nilly results. Thankfully Kat put most of that to bed by taking a hard line on the contentious issues - GJ there.

Also, maybe it's just that I'm sheltered by the good-natured team I've been lucky enough to be a part of, but when it comes to PvP events, the forums always look like a total shitstorm, whereas the events themselves are generally very amicable and fun. If you're just laughing from the outside at this "farce", you're missing out. Grab a toon, find a team, get yerself in on some fun.

Why are we still ragevoting? Proposing votes on the same night as the matches while still upset over whatever it is that happened and without any discussion across teams is what got us in this weird scoring position. We're basically voting on the first thing that came to mind for an upset player, and forcing the other teams to vote on it without negotiating a better solution or seeing what other teams feel on the issue.

"I don't like this rule. The vote proposal isn't exactly what I'd like to see, but I don't know where the other teams stand and this is the only proposal to change it, so I guess I'd better vote yes".

Let's stop PMing proposals to Kat on Saturday nights, to be sent out in secret for each team to discuss in their own little boxes. Bring it to the forums, hash out the best proposal that we can agree on, and submit our votes no earler than Monday. Otherwise we'll keep chasing our tails.

Also, let's get a scoring system we like, collectively, and let's put this to bed. Or, at the very least, let's put a cap on the value of a win, and not allow any votes to change it. Without a hard limit in place, the wins you've already earned can be devalued at any time, and that's a big part of how we got into such weird rankings.

By weird rankings, here's the current placement of the teams, along with their win-loss-draw records:

1st place - 5-4
2nd place - 6-3
3rd place - 5-3-1
4th place - 3-5-1
5th place - 5-1-3
6th place - 3-5-1
7th place - 4-1-4
8th place - 0-9

Some pretty strange positioning, comparing the ranking of teams with same or similar records.

Retroactive/Non-retroactive, I don't care. There are way more points waiting to be earned than have already been earned (particularly with weeks 1-2 being worth less points), so the randomness should even out by the end of the season...IF WE STOP RUNNING AROUND IN CIRCLES RAGEVOTING EVERY WEEK.

Don't say that out loud. The copy tool won't be back until the devs think we're gone.

You run into a lot of other FF/ARs?

Correct - PBU gives +ToHit, +Dmg, +Special. Power Boost is just +Special, on a faster recharge.
