You know what is even funnier? How some players who leave their regs and join 1er or 4e automagically gain a significant jump in their rank.
It is almost as if this list is a scam and a recruitment tool for selected few regiments.
I'd rather explain it in a different way: players who are not in highly competitive regiments are often (unfortunately) not recognized as high tier players, simply because they do not get the opportunity to really shine, except maybe on Cavalry_Groupfighting. Due to this list being solely a summa of different opinions, it is only natural that - once these kind of players get their chance to stand out - they will be rated higher.
I have two examples for that: Giorno, a player originally from the 33rd, who recently joined the 4e and also was in the UK team, really stepped up because suddenly people in competitive regiments and the national teams finally watched him play unbound from a counterproductive team surrounding him (sorry 33rd, but I hope you get what I mean).
My second example would be Parigonicalus, who used to be in your regiment, a regiment that rarely played any 1v1's and did not paricipate in a league so far (which is totally fine of course), and really had a chance to shine in the BNL team and in addition to that more recently in the 1er and - as a result of this new acknowledgement - improved on the list as well.
My point is, if you like it or not, the recognition of individuals will always be connected to the framework they play in. Changes in personal opinions due to players changing their regiment is systemic in this list and not necessarily bad; especially nothing as mysterious and manipulative as you potrayed it. Don't lose yourself in wild conspiracies, Grozni.
Ah, the "framework". I just know I am being bullshitted when someone uses such a word in a situation like this, it is a nice way to say "you will play by our rules".
Well thank you for confirming everything I said, and then calling it a wild conspiracy right after. So unless you are within a "framework" of being a member of one of about four big competitive regiments, your ranking will be kept low. Since not only are all the rating givers loyal members or captains of these regiments, but also they happen to only care about your performance in these big 1v1s.
The list is a recruitment scam, for this simple reason: it started by adding *all* the half-decent players they could think of, even members of non-competitive regiments. As if it is going to justly rate *all* the active hussar players in the game. Your appetites for recognition are weated.
But then, you feel like your ranking is too low? "Well", they say, "you have to shooow us". And then it turns out, you can't possibly show them, unless you are a member of one of four big competitive regiments. Not only are they exclusively interested in your performance in big 1v1s, but accidently all the other regiments are just not good enough for your performance to really shine. There is no epic feat that you can pull out against all odds that will go noticed. But hey no worries, as soon as you join one of these regiments, who's members and leaders also happen to be the ones who give out ratings, you can start hoping that your rank will go up and closer to, or at least what you imagine is closer to your true deserved rank.
There may be a tiny amount of deviation from this rule sprinkled here and there, which is only suitable as a mask to hide the true intentions of this list.
My point is, at least stop lying, rename this list into some sort of big league individual player rating table and make it clear which regiments are supposed to be in it. It will still have a toxic effect on the community in my opinion, but at least you won't be those black ops bastards who have to hide their deeds and panickingly insult people who ask to be removed from it. Maybe.
My second example would be Parigonicalus, who used to be in your regiment
Parigon is still in the 10thRH, the only reason it says 1er is because Ciiges labeled him this way by his own will, which proves many of my points. This is the second time Parigon has been mislabeled, he already asked once in the past for the "nr10" label to be replaced with "10thRH". And now on the next update suddenly he is "1er", and still is, even though Parigon has asked him to set that label back to 10thRH, again, and the 10thRH is marked as his favorite group on his steam profile.
Ciiges has this time refused to make the update. This only goes to show in what tyrannical way he wields the power of being the editor of the list. This is the guy whom you let run the list that decides on your ranking, and you let him do it due to greed for recognition, ridiculous.
Ciiges is clever to pull this out, but is not smart enough to hide his bad personality completely. In the past pages of this thread there are plenty of examples of him being a raging kid whenever someone questioned his skill or asked to be removed from the list. For example he refuses to remove some players from the list for a few days "just to teach them a lesson", as if he has some divine right of authority to teach anyone a lesson.
Though some of these removal requests were not very much polite (not as if you have to be polite to someone who has put you on a corrupt list without your approval), what about the last example? St0m asked to be removed in a pretty polite and straightforward way, and Ciiges immediately reacted by trying to publicly ridicule him. The "oh you don't want to be in my list, you must be butthurt over the drop in your rank" attitude.
And there is no mystery as to why Ciiges would be enraged by removal requests, each person less on the list makes the list less valid, therefore less power to him, making him less useful to the handful of others who benefit from it.
Any player of integrity should ask to be removed from the list. Even though you will be attacked and ridiculed for doing so, showing some spine will earn you self esteem which will be more useful to you than a number on a corrupt piece of paper.
