yeh im about to give up on going for a 50. i understand the system. i've read the microsoft trueskill website over and over.
fact of the matter is i KNOW im better then almost every player i come up against. yes sometimes theres a round where a legit general wipes me all over the board but its rare.
i know your supposed to play with people you dont know to rank up faster and all this jazz but this is a social game people like to play with there friends so its kind of shisty that since me and my 2 buddies are really good we cant rank up together. ive been stuck at a 13 in team slayer for a few days now and i only lost maybe once or twice in the last few days. if you look at my record you can see im well deserving of at least a 45.
my new gripe is that besides not being able to rank up most of the teams i come up against just flat out quit from us beating on them and then i dont get exp or rank as if i didnt just murk out a team something rediculous like 20-4. its really dissapointing. maybe i should cop out and buy a general account like everyone else i have lost motivation on earning it on my own.
Mixed party & same players is your most recent problem...you were ranking up fine before you did that. What sucks for you is your sigma is likely dropping, even as you are winning. You may have stalled yourself a little permanantly by doing that. I tested that out on a Test Account of mine (I'm a legit 45ish in Team Slayer)...I was ranking fine until a buddy of mine and I started playing together. We were going pretty much undefeated but barely ranking, just like you. Now I need 3 wins for a rank, even though my win/loss ratio is really good. I suspect the reason is because my sigma was dropping even though I was winning.
Change up your teammates and you will be ranking up every 2-3 wins I suspect.
