Talk:Rating

Doesn't your Guild rating also go down if you do nothing? That seemed to be the case in a couple of Guilds I was in. --Karlos 07:39, 22 Sep 2005 (EST)

Hmmm, I thought no, but I dont know for sure. Your guilds ranking will definitly change, since other guilds rating changes, but rating? Isnt that what top guilds were accused of: Blocking top ladder spots by not playing anymore to preserve their good rating? Maybe Anet changed it after those complaints, but I never heard of it. --Xeeron 08:39, 22 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * I guess I was talking about Rank, but isn't rank based on rating? --Karlos 10:13, 22 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Your guilds ranking can change without a change in rating. Say your guilds rating is 1200 with Rank 500. Now guild XYZ with rating 1199 and Rank 501 wins a fight and gains 10 rating. They pass your guild, so now your guilds ranking is 501, but the rating still 1200. --Xeeron 19:19, 22 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * I am pretty sure that those guilds "slid" down. Both Ranking and Rating slid down. I maybe hallucinating, but I am on every night and did not see any GvGs take place. --Karlos 19:52, 22 Sep 2005 (EST)

Why is the article called "Guild Rating" instead of just "Rating" (which redirects here)? In the guild window, the term used is simply "Rating". I also find it weird/redundent to say "The Guild Rating of your guild" as opposed to just "Your guild's rating". -PanSola 00:46, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

I know that guild rating goes up and down based on what guilds you face, but what is the maths behind it? Is it based on the ELO rating system like chess? When one team gains rating, does the other lose the same amount? From my experience, I would say that two evenly rated guilds would get +-15. Is this true? Are wins and losses the only variable, or does flawless or time affect it? I would really like to be able to predict how much, say, a 1100 rated guild gets for beating a 1000 guild. --Hewus 09:14, 17 February 2006 (CST)
 * Yes, the ladder is based on ELO. And yes, two evenly rated teams would get +-15, since the K-value is 30. I don't think flawless or time affects it the rating. See “Appendix B: Guild Wars Ladder Rating and Ranking Systems” in the GW universal tournament rules.
