The new fairness changes on Worldwinner -- how has it affected you?

[Jacob]

With the recent changes made to the fairness system, have any of you personally seen differences in your win/loss records or who you've been matched up with?

I've lost literally 15 cash games in a row on Bejeweled, with a third of my games scoring around 7,000 and 8,000. Fairness my ass...I'm scoring decently but I can't win a single friggin' game. C'MON SYSTEM, MATCH ME UP WITH PEOPLE THAT SUCK SO WE CAN CALL IT EVEN!

It takes a bit of time to adjust you based on new statistics. Play some games and you'll adjust in ranking.

HA, the fairness system doesnt seem to be that fair. Anyone see that alot of people are bombing the games to try in get in a lower skill level? I noticed this because I've played tons of people in games with too low of scores, like they played and quit... This sucks

[Grengoddess]

its better though. i lost so much money from WOF and now i have gone from division 2 to division 4 it really helps.

[Jacob]

How do you find out what division you're in for a particular game?

[Flignats]

Click the prize button, it shows the divisions and highlights your division

[Jacob]

Sweet, I'm a Division I player even though I'm 0-15. At least I know things can't get worse for me.

I dont know if this is the case for others, I dont care about the fairness thing. I care about my bottom line on how much I make from these sites. At the moment, I am down on what I could earn before.

They have limited the number of players in your 'division', reducing the pool of people to play against. Thus available prizes.

When you do win, the prize funds are spread thinner, more people get a cut of the money now. So when you win you now win less.

The above two make playing a lot less profitable and that to me is not good.

I find that it's less profitable now as well. The up-side to this, though, is that my game, Scrabble Cubes, had slowly been dying since the higher ranks were dominated by about 10-12 players and there was a sharp decrease in activity. The new system *should* keep the game alive, hopefully.

But Worldwinner's advantage over other skill-gaming sites is the money-winning potential of it-- No making $2,000-$5,000/month every month off King from just one game, I don't think. I hope Worldwinner doesn't slowly refashion itself into a rehashing of every cliche skill-gaming site.
