I truely dont understand why people want this "CQ ranking system". To even try to rank the CQ system in this game would be completely pointless. Anygame that has a ranking system counts kills, you gain a kill each time you kill a person, there's nothing unique about it. In MXO, you kill a person the first time, you gain a CQ, you kill them the 2nd time, you gain nothing. You could participate in a 6 hour long pvp battle, and have over 200kills, yet only have gotten 20 CQ's because your killing the same players over and over again and not getting crap for doing it. For there ever to be a a worthwhile CQ ranking system, you'd need to completely overhaul the CQ system, or impliment a 2nd system to track just kills.
In addition to that, lets say for a minute that there was a "ranking system" and your CQ count was pasted on the website or the forums, whats changed? and how have CQ points become worth anything? I mean congrats, you win bragging rights, but hey guess what, you can already brag about your CQ count now if you want to. Now stop to concider this, say a list of names was posted of the top 10 players from each server, I can think of players who are unsubbed who would be topping the lists for their server, for any newer pvp'er or someone who doesnt have an already huge CQ count, your gonna spend upwards of probably a year to catch up with some of these players who've been outta game for almost or over a year. That means that the names that are up there are gonna take ages to change, just like they do in any other game thats underpopulated. So again it begs the question, whats the point in having these lists posted? I mean if this is what players really wanted, just to see the top CQ leaders on each server, why not just start a thread, and have ppl post their CQ counts, or even look around for players who have really high cq counts, take a pic of their char info screen and post that, find a mod who will sticky the thread, and then start a new thread each month.
My personal opinion and the opinion of someone who would most likely be in the top 10 list on syntax is that to ask the devs for a ranking system is a waste of time. Because a ranking system is as usefull as looking at a persons char screen and looking at their CQ counts. Big whoop. Players are capable of making a ranking system by doing what I said above. If you want to come up with an idea for a CQ revamp, you need to figure out a way to make CQ's meaningful, so that they're rewarding. Just to maybe see my name on some list is meaningless, and my efforts still go unrewarded.
