If Skirmish mode would stop you raping AI in panth, since you do nothing else, and bring some legitimacy to the ranks which you have so exploited...then sure.
Case to answer in this thread....
I agree.
But perhaps Obscenitor has it closest to the mark in his reply to the link you posted... we (or at least I) don't really know how experience is apportioned... publish a guide, give some parameters... it has been all trial and error at this point... let it be an even and informed playing field and then the best players can have at it... reset the rankings again.
...on to another issue that Pacov raised... no, I know he was not calling me out, and yes, I have learned to lose very, very well (283 loses will do that for you!) but... if we are honest, we have all tried to find that niche... that advantage... that edge... I won't be an Erb clone or a UB drone (lol... kinda just kidding guys!) and for light to win (let's face it, the BEST players are dark) the light has to use it's thin numbers advantage while on-line, that is to ensure favor (AI based) is generated in our favor... with so many more light on-line at one time, there will naturally be more Pantheon favor generated for the light... even when it has the most losses...
...best case in point, look at yesterday's stats closely... at times, Rike and I managed to have light in the points lead despite there being a 60% dark win advantage... ask yourself, how is that possible... I can only answer for myself - when burdened with AI, I would pull 125 favor in the first minute and then with that lead (90 for each of my 3 dark opponents primarily) I would concede... not a loss... good use of my time and ultimately a points lead for the light... if I would have stayed it would have taken 20 more minutes, I may have only gotten 70 points max and each of my opponents would have averaged 40 more points...
...overall (and finally in closing!) the system is what we all love (and mayhaps often lament) and we all work to best advantage our play, some of us also work to provide new players with a good experience when matched with them against AI by offering to answer their questions / provide advice... have I considered that I am helping the inexperienced-light-player-of-today become the pro-dark-player-of-tomorrow... yes, I have and I say bring them on... the more players that enjoy the game (hint, hint, hint for a Skirmish mode) the more and better players we will have in the future... for whenever the Demon and Oculus come out and the Pantheon expands into Clan warfare... a whole new level of Clan experience factors... for us to know nothing about except through trial and error... and waiting for Pacov to call us out in the forums...
