Everytime you use the BR, your level should go up. Since the BR is the only gun that actually requires skill, this makes sense.
So the use of the most unbalanced weapon in the game is evident of skill in your book? You can leave now.
At some point every system is going to be flawed, even Halo2's system had a huge drawback in that fact that you could just point grind with time played, and it was very easy to ride others coattails. The only reason the current trueskill setup sucks wind is due to people with multiple accounts, that is why you run into 40+ ranked people that have no strategy, they just camp firing lanes with the BR, cherry pick, or sit back and let others do the heavy lifting.
So now the question is, how to stop people from making multiple accounts. Since obviously we can't do that, how do we remove the motivation to make multiple accounts?
I honestly think the only way that you will remove that motivation is to remove numbered ranks. If there isn't an achieveable goal, then there is less reason to cheat for it. I've been lobbying for this since Halo2, handle the MM system the same way, but remove the visible rank. It's the same thought process behind their removal of the leaderboards back in the day.
In regards to multiple accounts, the only thing that will stop that is if MS takes action against it, as it is not Bungie's call. Technically it is not cheating, and they are doing nothng illegal by having multiple accounts. MS would need to dedcide that the effect on their trueskill system is big enough to warrant them stopping some revenue, and I doubt that will happen any time soon.
True. There is really no way to stop multiple accounts, but if K/D ratio decides part of your rank then no one in their right mind would try to delevel an account. It is extremelty hard to get a K/D ratio up from .0025 so if someone made an account then just did terrible then the account would be useless. Multiple accounts are used to boost and help people level. Trueskill is vulnerable to this kind of sheating, but my system is designed to measure skill based on performance per game and lifetime K/D ratio. Those have to be built up over time and maintained by consistant play. There is now way to cheat that system.
