the conclusion was not determined beforehand, I don't know why you think that.
I said I had a conclusion after the emails I've exchanged with Cankid, I posted a thread to see feedback and not let it be only a thing between him in private and myself. Especially for something as important as this that would impact the whole community. If my conclusion was wrong, I would change it. Maybe it's a language thing but from the interactions here many do not want to change the system and others clearly stated it would piss off many old players who arrived at the current ranking if it was changed.
That was my thought before I started the thread, I wanted to see what others thought too before I decided.
I also see that we need a new ranking system, but removing/changing the existing one creates conflict (read this thread again). So I have to figure out a way to add a new ranking and display both. Some suggested doing a weekly or monthly ranking. Etc etc.
In short, I listened to your suggestions and I'm working on a new ranking system from your feedback but also keeping the existing one. I need to figure out a way to display both.
Just because I don't do what you asked for in a verbatim copy, it doesn't mean I'm a dictator and all that stuff you are throwing. I also don't see why saying someone suggested changes, like Cankid did, is throwing him under the wolves. Everybody makes suggestions, I don't think that's a bad thing. I asked for feedback, I read it and obviously, I have to make a choice after reading the posts.
