And I knew that 50 people would think it is thier job to tell the guy who bumped that it was wrong.
Either way it's simple as hell, just put the current amount of fame needed for each rank that we have into a calculator list and then have it make the equation for you. Takes 2 seconds I believe.

Eh, more complated then that Mourne. You do have to properly figure out what form the equation is in (linear, exponential, power, etc) before a TI-83 or 89 calculator can do it. That requires a bit of guess work and knowledge of mathematics.

Well I figured if someone was trying to do this anyway, they would already know which one to use, but okay.

Amusing as this is, does it make any difference whatsoever? I don't think knowing the formula is going to allow for any manipulation of the system, or advantage of any kind... so the OP has simple created (yet another) instance of uselessness in mathematics.

...I really don't know what to say. Jealous you couldn't come up with the formula maybe? Who cares if you can't manupulate the system with it? O_o
It tells you how much fame you'll need for the ranks after the one you're on with accurate results. Would you like it if I didn't tell you how much money you needed to upgrade things in life? It doesn't really give you an advantage of any kind...right?

We already know what the next rank would be... Wiki is our friend.

That's not even a reasonable comparison, because were I to need information on the price of something, I would have no need for such equations. You're trying to make dissimilar situations similar, and you've failed.

Money matters, rank in Guild Wars doesn't.

Yeeeeeaaah Maths is cool.

They should have more lessons figuring out videogame formulas in Maths at school/college.

I spend too much time playing and not enough time on math

Nice job and nice to see someone using GW to keep their minds fresh

So, what, it's bad to reply to an old thread I found through the wiki? Sorry... Guess if you really don't want that you could just wipe all threads over two weeks old.

Maybe I shouldn't have posted that, but I'm not having the best of days and my judgment isn't great atm.

Rank DOES matter in GW. Saying that shows how ignorant you are to PvP. Imagine being r12, getting into any high end team you want. Then, imagine holding halls for hours on end, collection sigils and some rare items. I garuntee, if you have a high rank and if you play halls as much as you play PvE you will get lots o' moolah, all because your high rank got you into a good group.

Rank only truly matters to those that have it and think it matters.
