It is not the system. It is how you play, if you do not believe me read this. I am not saying you are bad at playing, I am saying that it is the way you play that makes you go down a level. Once you read this, you will understand. It is a long read, but a very good one that will leave you knowledgeable of the games stats and how they work.

That still hardly matters. Read this and you will understand.
First we'll calculate experience change for Sly. Sly (level 10) beat JoeBoy (level 7). They're 3 levels apart, so we consult the 4th row down in the above chart to learn that Sly, the higher level player, gains 79 points. Sly also beat SueMe (8), but this time because SueMe is closer in level earning 85 points. Finally Sly picked up just 70 points from Ralf (5) because Ralf is so much lower level. Adding these all up we see that Sly earned a total of 234 points (79 + 85 + 70). We divide this by 3 to get Sly's final experience point change, +78.

Now let's see how JoeBoy fared. He lost to Sly, who was higher level. Again consulting row 4 of the table we look at the Lower Loss column to learn that JoeBoy lost 79 points. However, he also won against SueMe, who also happened to be a level higher. Row 2 of the chart shows us that a lower win earns 108 points. Finally, JoeBoy also picked up 85 experience points for beating Ralf. (Remember, Sly only got 70 for beating Ralf because their levels were further apart.) So JoeBoy earned a total of +38 experience points ((-79 + 108 + 85)/3) for his 2nd place finish.

Performing a similar calculation we see that SueMe lost 38 experience points ((-85 - 108 + 79)/3) and Ralf lost 78 experience points ((-70 - 85 - 79)/3).


Confusing yes, but it explains what exactly the 'problem' is.
