Does the ranking freeze?

[masterjacob]

Hello

I have a couple of questions that I want to ask about the ranking system. I used to play on another private server a good while ago named ED, and there if you killed less than 15 players in a week your ranking would just freeze. If you would kill more than 15 players you would get a standing according to the normal calculation.

What I was told was that on Nostalrius the ranking system was identical to the retail vanilla system.Even if you wouldn't kill a single player your ranking would not freeze.

But last week I killed 14 players and I got standing 0. What does that really mean? And I noticed my ranking froze. The blue ranking bar didn't grow nor decrease.

I just want to get it confirmed how this system actually works. How many players do I need to kill to gain a standing?

15+ for standing/week. Otherwise, decay for ranks above 4 i believe(maybe higher).

Ok so if I kill fewer than 15 players my ranking will freeze is that correct?

It will just preent you to be in the "Ranked PLayers" list and thus you won't be able to get Rank Points. You will still be able to lose RP (i.e. Rank).

It won't freeze unless you are rank 0-4, if you are any rank above 5 you will decay 20% of your rank no matter if you pvp or not.

Decay is 20% of your total RP (10% below Rank 7), not your current Rank.

Sorry, I meant current rank as in 20% of whatever you have atm And according to wowwiki, it's 20% at all ranks above 5.

losing about 5/10 % rank per week not doing much pvp ,not sure why I bother really when AV is gonna take so much work compared to instances/raids that it won't be out for another 3 months.

Rank freezing used to work but I guess they fixed it by today's reset. I had 6 HK's for last week, didn't get a standing but still lost 50% of my rank 8. Is anyone else able to confirm this?
