[glow=purple,20,300] Who do you think is elite? I want to compile a list of guys who are the best at what they do.
Ratings are:
Suckass - If your so bad at this game that ur ps3 should be forcefully takin from you.
Weak - If you skill level consist of point whoring, or you get 2 kill and 9 deaths.
Cowards - If you run more than fight you are a pussy.
Descent - Average your ok nothing great.
Good - You have nice abilities, you get kill and your a good asset to your team.
Tough - You get more kills than deaths, and your remembered on the battlefield.
Fierce - You have skills, you get more kills than deaths, and you fight hard, team player as well.
Elite - You have mastered your class, you get more kills than deaths and your very helpful to your team. Having a elite on the team normally tilts the scales of battle.
Legendary - You are one of the best that Lotr. You are Fierce in every class. Your Battle honor is remember because of your kills, ability. These guys are always at the top and consistant.
Gods of Lotr - You have 3 classes that are elite. If your on a team people are cussing not only how they die, but how many times. If a god is in the room they adapt to slay there opponents. This is the ultimate class only the best are here.

Didn't we already rate everyone on GameFAQs?

how about, we don't, and we just respect each other equally?
It's not really necessary to artificially create barriers based off ideas of superiority.
All it will result in is people feeling smug about being better than others and other people feeling down or resentful. Either way it's not something we should want for our community.
Plus, do you really need the praise of your peers to feel validated as a good player? You should just be content with letting your performance speak for itself.

I kinda think it makes a good player to want to be better, if they know what people think. You and Joppi are classified by everyone as the best on the game, which I do not disagree with your skills. I just would like to see some other player be rated by others as elite or god level. It seems all the good ratings go to friends, I was hoping that the rating wouldn't have to be friendly. So we can get some real ratings thats all.

Lol, if the GameFAQs thread was any indication, there won't be many honest ratings here either. People you know get 8, people you are friendly with get 9, people who kill you a lot get 10.
I don't really remember anybody getting below an 8, other than like one or two people.
A legitimate rating thread would be nice, but it seems everybody has their own perception of how good they are, and when people disagree, it just seems to create drama (along the offended person "going after" the rater in regular games to try and prove that he's better). People just don't seem to want to offend their friends by giving them scores below 8, 9, or 10. So, ultimately these threads just seem to end up as giant cock-stroking orgies that serve little purpose.
I mean, if you want to keep trying, that's fine with me, but I don't really want to participate since I know from experience that certain people who I honestly review like to come after me all game and it really gets annoying. I'd prefer avoiding that kind of drama.

I think it's important to give credit where credit is due. However, that's a pretty meticulous rating system, and I don't know if I've ever seen Lotr God other than a few who proclaim to be. The very few who fall into the latter ranking category have already been praised to hell and back, so I kinda agree with Joppi and BM on this one. Next thing you know, you'll have people posting on why they get no respect or mention, while others are spamming the board with self glory. Plus the kill/death ratio, is relative because sometimes I get a 2 10 when I'm playing support mage and healing more than attacking. My efforts are not reflected in the boards and probably go unnoticed, but that goes a long way in getting a win.

That's the other thing, no one wants to offend anyone by being the person that steps up is honest if that means rating people low because they don't want to be disliked by the other person.

I guess I see it different, because this is just a game, if someone gets pissy than dont read. I like knowing what all these guys think of me and everyone else. Thats why there is no 1 - 10 scale, its a class skill. Truely there are no sucksass players on this board but there will be as it grows. I dont see anyone offending by getting a good or fierce rating.

You know demon, I think you've been elite for so long you forgot how it feels when you were a noob at this game. Let me put it this way. To a new player's eyes, the title actually means:
"I am an Elite. Look at me, know who I am, and I own you."

Hmm, it say's I'm a drunken Hobbit, I realize that must be the lowest rank possible but that actually sounds kind of cool, I wish I were a drunken Hobbit, or just a Hobbit, or just drunk.

Yeah, drunken hobbit sounds WAY better than bill the pony. Or Barrow wight. Or cave troll.
