Default Re: Suggestion/Proposal: Tier Point Requirements Revamp

Yes, I can see that my proposed system is extremely dependent on the skill rating formula, and if that formula is flawed (as you two claim it is), the system will be flawed too. I personally put more trust in the formula than you two do, but then again I'm far less skilled than you two so what do I know.

However, if the formula is as flawed as you say it is, that brings up a whole lot of other questions, since FFR rank and divisional placement are just as dependent on the formula as this system is, and perhaps even more so, so the accuracy of those two metrics are immediately thrown into doubt. I currently have a skill rating of 44.5, and D3 cutoff is 46, so am I D2 because I actually lack the skill to be D3 or because an inaccuracy in the formula misrepresents my skill, and I actually do have the skill to be D3?

With all this in mind, an update to the formula, one that more of the community can agree with, should probably be done. And if the new formula accurately maps scores to their AAA equivalents, that would fix most or all of the problems pointed out with the system.

As for setting the max tier points for one song to be a BF/AAA, I'm going to have to disagree on that one. I'm sure you'd agree with me that 2g-ing a 57 is considerably harder than AAA'ing a 50, so giving the AAA 4 points and the 2g 3 points just seems incorrect to me.
