Twist this post in whatever insane way you want, but here we go:
This system is complete garbage.
Here is a guide to getting on top of it:
Have a spar series against your professional sparring friends with high ratios. Probably best for (Alumni), since Thallen gives 100 points and it takes only 10 wins to get 1,000 points (for those who suck at math).
If you are not in (Alumni) and just spar casually, your average point output per spar will be somewhere between 8 and 14 points, since the ratios of most players in the game are around that area.
Here is some more math, if you spar someone with a 1-1 ratio, which should be the overall average because it makes sense, it will take 100 spars against them to get 1,000 points.
Obviously, Thallen and (Alumni) want it. For those people who actually have a life and don't want to spar 700 times to get to Sarah's rating, here is a MUCH better idea:
Wins per day/week/all time, or nothing.
The current leaderboard is basically a wins per season leaderboard that is extremely easy to manipulate. Just ask me to series you for a few hours, 20 wins = 1000 points!
