Redoing WG's ranks

What I'm about to suggest will change almost everything that seems familiar to you in WG. But then again, is that a bad thing? Lets face it. Our ranks system absolutely fails. Elite guardian is a dead rank - trial guardians are more active. Level 1.75 and 2 are completely empty. Our activity is also failing. So maybe now you'll listen to me...

WG's ranks will be based on activity. Nothing more. We can use Robbie's rolling event count, meaning you CAN get demoted if your number gets too low. The ranks will be competitive, with several stages the people can compete for.

The ranks will be based on our already made war badges...

I'm mixed on this.
I want to support you Randy because I love the fact that you keep going for this clan even though they let you down... and I like the premise of rewarding people for attending raids... but I don't think this is the best way.

Good idea, but like you said. It'll change EVERYTHING we see now.

In my opinion, it will show who's active, but then it can just cause members to leave. And ruin our memberlist if we decide to kick the people instead of demoting them.

Especially all the members that are at the lowest rolling event count.

I guess only way to see what'll really happen is try it out.

I'm opposed to it being based solely on the event count.

I think there should be some judgment taken into consideration.

People can be active when it comes to all the little events which pile on attendence, but suddenly can't make the big ones, and vice versa. At this point, we need people who will go to the big one, right?

I know it's hard to determine activity on something that isn't concrete, but we can't be 100% superficial and just look at numbers.

EDIT:

Still reading over it, and I REALLY like the bit about people not being secure in their position. It forces people to keep up their activity to keep their perks.

Possibly before removing ranks and stuff, set up a system where if you're Higher there is an event quota, Elite a more strict quota and stuff.

EDIT2:

I like the bit about there being competition between members. It's a bit, wrong? I guess that's the word. I think setting a limit on who has the higher rank/access will benefit us.

Also, I think we should REALLY lay down the hammer on inactive people. We need to show people that we're not fucking around and we do mean business when we say we're serious.

Will post my thoughts on Tuesday

I read this yesterday, but I still have no idea what to say. I need to think about this and how it would affect those who end up getting "demoted," etc.

I dont think activity alone should dictate ranks.
And what will happen to those that already have ranks? Many of those arent the most active I've seen, but many of them have had a great effect on the community and the general good of WG.

The concept of rewarding activity itself is good, but I think theres better ways of doing this. We're not 100% sure of redoing ranks will increase activity.

For those that are inactive, we can either encourage them to take emeritus, or demote them.

bump lol?

niase. now enforce it. ur council do something

AND REMOVE MY WARN LVL

Ok the thing is though, we have to toughne up our rolling event count system. There are many faults in it now that i look at it, and also having 15(the max) is sooo damn easy. We have to make it so attend like 3 events means you get 1 rolling event attendance.

But that means that someone has to attend 3 events a week Saad.
It's subtracted weekly.

Then wat we have to do is reset it every week. Because what is happening is once somebody gets to 15 events, they just attend 1 event a week and its back up to 15.

Its too easy to have 15 right now. We have to make it hard to even have 5-10.
