Volodymyr simply stated that there are many unnecessary people in the top 10 of the rating:smile04:
A paradox? Or is the rating a bit flawed? I have a feeling that if the rating were calculated only from tournament games, we wouldn't see such a picture. I believe that the best players of the forum, let alone the top-10, and Aiwe and Javdet are such, by definition, because they were selected among the best players of HeroesWorld (except for Sticky, of course ;) ), should also be in the rating somewhere close to the top.
Where did I claim that someone is unnecessary? :) If you mean this:
...let alone the top-10, and Aiwe and Javdet are such, by definition, because they were selected among the best players of HeroesWorld (except for Sticky, of course ;))
then, the info is from here:

Well yes, just an "ordinary", "standard", yet "strongest" forum tournament, which the best players of HeroesWorld try to qualify for every year (except for Sticky, it seems)
Aiwe
whether it's worth raising the prestige of the rating, I think not. Well, maybe give medals for the top 3.
What does prestige have to do with it, let alone medals? (sorry, maybe someone needs them) When you play well and win in the FB - it's more pleasant to watch than when you lose because you played carelessly. It's the same with the rating, it's more pleasant to watch when it is as objective as possible. Why post and calculate anything at all if it doesn't reflect reality?

Why are tournaments held? – to determine the winner, who is stronger, luckier, etc. The main rating should determine the winner among winners, who played better over a certain distance and showed high results across many tournaments. Which, in fact, is happening now, but only the fun games, which are currently counted in the rating on par with tournament ones - distort the picture.
