this is basically copy and pasted from a reply i made in a topic in the general discusion talking about how to stop swappers. link
why dont they simply base the exp u get for winning/lossing on your lvl compared to the lvl of the person you were fighting so fighting some lower lvl gives less and fighting someone higher lvl gives more exp and fighting someone the same lvl gives you normal exp preferably by an exponential system so fighting someone close to lvl 0 when your lvl 40 would give basically no exp. ofcourse for lossing you could put an exp cap so that if u fought a lvl 40 at lvl 0 and lost u wouldnt get more exp than if u won fighting someone at your own lvl. this would also stop people that fight people much lower lvl than they are. this would mean swappers would have to lvl atleast 2 accounts to make any decent exp then and even then it would be quicker for people playing legitimatly to lvl and for incredibly good players could play above there level so they gain more exp. so the best would be rewarded more. also for ppl who search for lower lvls to play would be slowed down.
for teams the exp would be based on the sum of all the lvls of one team compared to the sum of the other team so a lvl 35 and a lvl 5 fighting 2 lvl 20s would get normal exp and the same for 2 lvl 30s fighting 3 lvl 20s this way you could fight lower lvls (but with a handicap to your team to balance your higher lvl) and still get full exp. i dont imagine this would be very easy to implement but it would basicaly stop swappers and people who search for lower lvls to fight well almost completely unaffecting the good players who stay withing there lvl range playing legitimatly
tell me what u think of my idea all veiws will be apreciated
not easy to win against a high level char even in gorge with lire against any other unit but im not suggesting an insane amount of exp for beating much higher lvls can be caped at double or triple exp which will give enough exp to possibly be worth while well not giving so much that u only need to do it a few times and presto. and besides that i doubt there arent many lvl 40s willing to lose on purpose to give a really low lvl exp and it would be insanely hard to beat a lvl 40 with a lvl 0 which would basically be a 1 hit kill with lvl 40 easily so even without an exp cap it would balance out. also it would reward better players giving more exp which is very fair.
you're suggesting swapping. What if the person wants to train a lower level? It'll be even faster."not easy to win agianst a high level char". In gorge, he/she can make the higher level just jump off 5 times or have a lower level use knockback skills.
C4d Attempt *_*GGftw!
not suggesting swapping at all so ill say this again1. very few higher lvls would lose to a lower lvl on purpose to help him lvl as it would effect there pvp win loss ratio massively and most higher lvls are very proud of there win loss ratio expecially the swappers who like to boost about there in loss ratio would lose it in lvling there lower lvls.
2. i would much prefer the lower lvls to be higher than higher lvls to get even higher.
3.even in gorge its very very hard to beat someone much higher lvl than yourself and if any lvl 1 is good enough to beat lvl 30s consitently on gorge then in my oppionion they deserve to lvl a few times faster than someone killing ppl the same lvl.
4.this isnt just a suggestion to stop swappers its a suggestion to make pvp overall better i would prefer it myself as ppl would get less for killing lower lvls and more for killing higher lvls. which would effect the ppl who actively look for lower lvls to fight so they have a better chance at winning.
5. even if there were very low lvls that could beat insanely high lvls on gorge most higher lvls just wouldnt bother fighting them as the exp they get even from a win would be to small to be usefull to them.
6.swappers by definition get there higher lvls by swapping so it would be harder to get there higher lvls unless u wanted to get the lower lvl to around there lvl to swap to get decent exp which would mean them wasting ALOT of time.
so like i said it wouldnt stop them completely. just stop alot of people as it would turn out to be quicker to just do it legitimatly and remember this isnt just a suggestion to stop swapping its also to improve pvp because i hate the ppl that actively seek out lower lvls to fight but when occasionally a lower lvl does win they get a bit more experience
