My characters, my actions, and pooling points.

Another idea I have been toying with is a champions board for skills. I've asked for this before, but now it can encourage people to spend their points so they can be on the top.

But it could also encourage the pooling points even more then they might do so now.

For instance with say a Battle Skill of 690, I will start pooling my points and spending only enough in order to stay maintain my spot on a leader board. Once a competition starts if I knew exactly where other players stood and being able to see what items they have equipped, I would not have to spend all my pooled points at once I could sped only enough in order to hold on to the my spot on the leader board.

In that scenario, only the top ten would be pooling their points. Anyone else would be encouraged to spend all they've got to get to the top ten boards. One of the reasons we had a highest skill thread is because there is no champions listing for skills. The demand is there. Also I don't believe point pooling needs to be removed, I just think this would encourage more people to spend what they have.

I cannot agree that it would encourage people to pool more. Having an open leaderboard can only encourage people to spend.

I agree with you that it would only encourage the top ten players to pool their points.

Though I would like to see the tiered system from Winter Court make a come back. That way players have a better idea where they are at in relation to characters of their equivalent level. Plus it could spread out the high end rewards of making it into the top ten a bit more.

I don't like the idea of a leader board for skills. For me, it would take away most of the surprise factor that adds fun to competitions/tournaments.

Keisuke-san, the tiered system was used for the Topaz Championship. I would also like that brought back.
