Make high scores in Rollerbeetle Racing register per account. Observing the high score list, I see the top 100 flooded by repeat names. This ruins people's chances at getting a high score and also lowers the number of prizes that may be handed out.

Since last year, changes to Guild Wars may help address the problem of one person capturing multiple top 100 placements. Because remember, we recently added the Dishonorable Combatant System that "awards" dishonor points to those who don't play fairly. So this year, if someone tries to "play the system" with frequent quit-outs (which we saw last year) he or she will reap dishonor points. Those points will result in a time out from the races, meaning those who try the quit-out work-around will have less time to compete and fewer hours to achieve high placement. I must admit that having the system run account-based rather than character-based would be real nice, but we were not able to make that change. Let's give the whole experience a review after the event to see if the DCS helps make Rollerbeetle Racing more fun and more lucrative for a larger number of players. Thanks for letting me know about your concerns. |
I believe this problem can be fixed by making it so that racing works like HB and GvG where your rating is based on your fastest time (or highest score, same thing) and your rank adjusts to that. The high score list can then show who is ranked the highest and down to number 100. The name listed can be the Account Name.
