An old thread I made on iEra which should also be considered for iClassic..

I think that iEra and iClassic alike should trash the current "queue" system, and place players in spars due to skill value. Reason being, I feel more and more newer players aren't giving spar a chance, after being destroyed by that one Rufus (US) dude 4 games in a row. Thus, the spar population is mostly made up of "pros", and when I say that, I mean the ones with 2000-1000(ish) spar record. Well, with all of those wins, they have to be coming from somewhere, right? Yes, the new players.

What I propose the staff team can do is start putting players with closely ranked spar ratings with each other (regardless of queue position), so gameplay is fair for everyone.

Well, that's my 25 cents (yes, damn economy), feel free to elaborate.

Oops - this should be in Future Improvements. Can a moderator please move it there?

You could be waiting hours for someone of your 'skill level' to log on, just for the sake of one spar.

It could be give or take around 500 points so there's a general buffer zone between good and average sparrers.

This is a good idea, then again, someone could create a new account, or an amazing PC sparrer from UN could come to iClassic and own.

Right, I think it's fine how it is. Maybe they could make a certain spar area for that purpose, but as for all of them I wouldn't be a fan of it.

They'll be given a rating soon enough, and then they'll only spar people in said rating zone.

think it's fine as it is.

Plus, the better people you spar against, the better you will become.

I like the idea. Im tired of fighting all the pros.

The score system is fairly inaccurate.

I agree and disagree. The reasons for this is because yes new players get to spar against the same level of skill, but my opinion is people can spar pros but they can get better. This is another oponion, i think that mature players who spar and are determined to succeed have a higher rate of improving. But since like younger clients are not as determined and have patients the have a less chance. So this sytem is good and should be added! But as Rufus has said you might have to wait quite a while to spar someone with the same level of skill. I don't see why practice spar is in Master Li's but i think they should add another one in the Battle Arena.

I agree with Agony :D
