Telling the GM's to reset or modify ranked characters who are no longer active is like saying we should take people out of major league sports hall of fame just because they are no longer alive. These people paid and earned their way to get the rankings. If new players want the ranking they should have to put in the same amount of time and money. Granted most people probably got rich abusing events or farming techniques but the underlying principle is still the same. Just my 2 cents.
I'm not saying that they will lose their contribuation. Assuming this works as I've tried to explain, there is the option to have an "Inactive" flag added. Their contribuation values didn't change, the only thing that would hypothetically change are the names displayed and if they get the benefits.
Do you have any suggestions perhaps, Menace?
@Chaos: I am not proposing a reset.
It is a proposal to flag the noble players as "Active" or "Inactive". From there, those who are flagged as "Active" will be ranked by the NPC.
I will agree that banned players should be removed from the ranking list since they can no longer contribute. But as far as changing or modifying non-banned current rankings it's kind of like you are invalidating all the hard work and zeny people have put into it. Ranked brewers and smiths spent millions of zeny and countless hours farming mats to get top 10.
The only real fair way would be to do a complete wipe...but that is probably not gonna happen. Yeah it sucks because most active/new players won't have access to the added benefits of being a top 10 or noble but it's something that should be earned and not just handed out.
GM's could extend the list to like top 20 to make it easier for players to get ranked/noble or maybe start a new ranking list but keep a separate list of the old ranked players as recognition.
Just @who2 Menace ingame. You should find me if I'm on. thanks!
