2. Get away from people just brute-forcing wins to gain rank. The old ranking system was bias towards people who sat in the spar complex all day and sparred whatever newbie walked in. If you ask almost any PKer, they'll admit quite a few of the folks on the "top sparrers" of the old ranking system don't deserve to be there.
This system was meant to distinguish between beating random noob A and beating Wil Soul, which was not differentiated in the old system

I have to disagree and say that anybody in the top 10 all time sparrers deserve to be there. They put the time in, they earned the points they have every right to be there. They might not exactly be better than somebody who's not there but to say they don't deserve to be there is wrong.
However, i like the idea behind it but at the minute this elo rating is putting people off sparing than making them spar. Can we remove it until the system is completed?
