shouldnt they work on the ladder before (i suppose thats one of reasons why there was MP beta)? Now they should just deal with ppl which dont play by rules, but whatever, i hope they will solve it.

hmm, all boosters are back to 70k.. except 5tarvin...

tho they are doing it again:

but now they're copying name of my team.. not good...

(wprawieni kierowcy = 80k server)

Hi. I am member of the team rip and I am disgusted that they are using the name of my beloved team. I play for LP and I think that boosters should be punished, their ladder points and planets resetted.

They can boost all they want, I'll still drive circles around them. Seriously though, I don't see what's so special about lp. The system is flawed when I'm still awarded points for beating players with worst ranks than me.

what's so special about lp

Firstly, it makes the game ongoing. You can go into a match and win or lose, and that's it. The next one is the same, and if you have a good day or a bad day it's quickly forgotten. As is the game. Why do you think any sport has a championship rather than just a lot of unrelated matches?

The system is flawed

Indeed, so we should try and get that fixed. Since there is no other ladder we can't throw a wobbly and push off somewhere else. The ladder is it and we have to do the best with what we're given.

Early TM games when you first enter server mode:

Trackmania allows players to share content in a user powered game, however this content is not monitered by Nadeo

or somethin' like that! This means that nadeo is only creating the games not monitoring it!

But Nadeo -is- supposed to be monitoring things...

I really think action should be taken in matters like these - because of boosters the ladders of TMN and now TM2 are rendered irrelevant to most players. For those who say the ladder doesn't matter, thank about why you say that. The issue stems from the failure of the ladder to provide a legitimate correlation between rank and skill. I had tons of fun playing for ladder points in TMN, then the boosters came and I've never been interested in points again. It seems we have the same situation here in TM2; what motivation would I have to attempt to earn points that are meaningless? The shame is the ladder is really an integral part of the game, or at least it should be. Earning points is something that new players recognize and will keep them playing. What happens when they find out that these points they're earning are meaningless, and the best players usually aren't ranked highly? Beyond solo mode, that would kill my interest in the game, especially if I wasn't exposed to the wonderful community yet. Most if not all successful games have some sort of ranking system or comparison between its players that is inherent to it's nature - I hope Nadeo realizes that the ladder is an INTEGRAL part of the player experience and should be treated as such. Hoping for the best
