Re: PvP Points Exploit
The purpose it serves to most is that it differentiates between sheer number of PvP games won and how good one is at defeating tough opponents. I personally like the leaderboard because I always get hard opponents, so I'm not even in the top 200 in honor (used to be top 30), but I'm still top 40 in PvP. It gives recognition to those who'll try even if they won't necessarily win.
I'd argue that in it's current state of broken the PVP ranking does neither. Honour shows the sheer number of matches you have one. Regognition for defeating tougher opponants is not reflected in any way by the PVP ranking. If you disconnect when you lose a match you never lose Pvp points therefore negating any validity of the system. You can continuely increase your rank while honest players will fluctuate. On server 2 it has been reported by a majority of players that many of the top 10 players routinely DC when they lose a match. It's something that needs to be fixed.. Or removed. Simple
