What i found is that the ranks are for that belt e.g.

Blue belt rank 320
what it really means is that you are the 320th blue belt either online, today or ever.

could this be what it means or am i just been stupid in the eys of greater powers?

my rank is 6.
i think rank is everyday update....

So who are the 5 people higher than JePoY?

This is so much better. I hated when i would get on and be like 26th then after like 5 battles it would go to 10,000. This is much more stable and less fluctuating

I frankly do not like it. The Elo Rating System, while having its flaws, reflected actual skill. I was hoping to eventually have it determine ratings match by match instead of day by day (which led to huge fluctuations in rank). Now there is NO method of measuring skill, except for the brain-dead win/loss percentage. The original system was one of the things that made Toribash unique in that allowed new players to be highly ranked, but now it's just deferring to those who have been around long enough. It's kind of sad and I hope to see it changed someday soon.

So Nighend r u saying a brown belt in a semi pro server winning every match against blue and green belts should get the same amount of rank points as a black belt playing against custom belts or 8th dans in black belt servers? Theres always gonna be flaws in a ranking system. Plus very few people consider rank important anyways. So quit whining

I don't know if it was based of win percentage and belt I would have rank 1

You don't even have a clue how the old system worked.

I agree with Nighend, the old system, while it had some flaws, is better than the current qi-based system.

What if some guy makes an acount, buys a shit load of QI then wins 1 game. Would he be rank 1?
