I got an idea. Lets just change the recruiting stars so that 90% of players have 5 stars.
Would that be an outrage? Would it matter? Not really.
Would there be threads complaining about it on CF? Absolutely!
It doesn't matter if we mark every player with 5 stars because that won't make any player preform any better or worse. The rankings on CF don't matter because it won't change how the person posts.
Still, if you are going to assign a value to it, it should at least match the scale. Recruiting rankings do this for the most part. Yes there are some that are miss-represented, but if it wasn't close people wouldn't care how many stars a player has.
The same should be true for the reputation bar. And if it doesn't matter enough to correct it, then why do we have it?
Remember I'm the one that said we should just get rid of it. I'm not the one that started this thread or spent my time looking up how it works. I'm just making an observation.
If it doesn't matter, what's its propose? If it does matter, shouldn't we change it?
