Title: Question.
Post by: grover511 on December 06, 2011, 08:05:20 PM
What's more heavily weighted on the leaderboard, one avatar or the 2,000 gold I get from selling it? I've had probably 5 or 6 Avatars and I'm thinking I maybe shouldn't have sold them.

I'd say they're both worthless enough to not worry about ... there will be a "costume shop" where you can sell avatars in the future. I've been selling doubles, but like if you get the Escape Goat avatar (not cropped) then I'd pay/trade a good amount for it.  :o

Nevermind that, I just found the Escape Goat avatar.  8)

I think it's something that Scapegoat brought up before, but the ranking is dynamically weighted. If less and less people have lots of gold, the more weight it will receive, if more and more people have avatars, the less weight they will have. Obviously this will only have so much effect for balancing reasons. But it's kind of a reverse formula. To get the most ranking, you have to balance all your stats.

So... In a way, by removing my vast wealth from circulation, I made gold more valuable? Do I have that correct? Gah, that's complicated. Probably a really interesting formula, though. :3

By a small amount, but yep, you got it right.

So that would explain why Jason was bumped down a place... Lance has more gold. :D

So is a R5 item more heavily weighted than an R1?

It's a pretty good concept, value by remand, quite realistic I suppose.  ::)

This was a pretty large factor up until a little while ago. This has since been toned down a lot as I noticed higher rarity items are not necessarily more rare than less rare items. Since people like to hoard r4, r5 and sell/enchant anything lower. So to answer your question, there is some extra weight, but nothing like how it was before.

I see.
