I agree no "rules" were broken. Ranks? We should all know by now that ranks are just a measurement of how well someone "plays the system."
It points to the fact that NU Planets is like other browser-based multi-player online games (BMOG) and the objective is to collect points that often have nothing to do with actually winning games. The metrics and the resulting ranks and championships may or may not have anything to do with skill level.
I think this may bother "old timers" like myself that were used to judging our results and that of others by how we finish in the games (1st, 2nd, etc. or at some sites - top half) rather than how many times we traded ships and planets or convert them into "points" through various exploits that are allowed to become "part of the game" - even when they are used other than originally planned.
I have come to understand that's just the way it is. Like someone else said, it's Joshua's sandbox and he gets to make the rules. If any of us don't like it, we can vote with our virtual feet and find something else to do. |
