Stupid thing - player's bots rating

Why they make the list of players in the alliance according to their bots rating?
It doesn't have any sense. Someone can have the best bots in the alliance but after forging his place is at the end of the list.

And this suggestion has no sense in this game.
Maybe in MCOC has it more.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! Just to let you know, I have moved your thread into the correct forum section to help keep the forums clean and organized.
Forging is for having even greater bots so measuring 10 best would say whose potential is better.
Did I write anything about my position on the list?
But for now it's just the way it is, if you know your good at the game and your alliance sees that, why does it matter to the rest of the world?
In the profile there is one of the main stat called rating and in some cases it's not adequate to the actual strength of the player. It's about that.
They could combine all stats like you said in one, something like total power. Could be cool
To answer your original question a bit, I think the idea was that stronger total PI will correspond to a stronger "army" and thus a stronger player, hence why the list is ordered the way it is. Maybe.
The problem arises when players start to Forge their bots - instead of increasing or even maintaining the same rating after the bot has been forged, the rating actually goes down because you have essentially gotten rid of an entire bot (same as if you had sold the bot, or if you had never received the bot in the first place).
So, because of that, the rating system is essentially useless as you can only see what top 4 bots the player has from their profile look, and if the player is a heavy forger, their rating might be significantly below another player who has not forged a single bot. This becomes somewhat problematic as many Alliances will say something like "Minimum requirement to join this alliance is 15k" - when the fact of the matter is, is that a 12k player who has forged the crap out of all his 2* bots into his 3*/4* bots could have significantly stronger bots than someone with a 15k rating.
The solution to this would be to add more rating value to forging to match, or at least come a lot closer to matching the value the lesser bot had before it was forged.
I think in TFTF a number equivalent to MCOC prestige would be more interesting to evaluate the power of player or alliance.
Higher up alliances know how the game works and won't go off rating but top 3 bots.
True, our alliance judges by:
- Top Team
- Activity (i.e. number of arena rounds)
- Soft criterie (i.e. is he/she a nice person)
Ranking ist mostly irrelevant, though you seldom see somebody who is really active in arena who forges away all of his 2* bots.
If they say "must have at least 3x3/30 bots", you know it's upper-mid tier
"Must have at least 3x4/40 bots" is a high tier, probably top 20 or so
Top tier will want to see your entire roster and probably will already know you by reputation at least
So yeah, no one who's at a stage of the game where forging is relevant could care less about rating. TBH, I haven't looked at my own rating for nearly two months, I have no idea what it is
A more extreme example: Nergury (alpha) who is the guy with 800+ bots mentioned earlier I believe he only has 2 3* bots. The rest were fed to 4*. Of course his rating comes down a lot, but everyone in the top 10 alliances knows he was first to finish RoK and almost always sits at the top of the raid leaderboard and is in the alliance that almost always tops AM.
Rating just doesnt rate, but that's not a problem
