No, they do not, but I'm trying to show all the spamming and like pact things here. They get those end ranks within weeks of joining which is uncommon.Joe Bartolozzi wrote:
Firstly, how does rank even matter?Claudio NVKP wrote:
And one more thing is that People are getting these huge ranks like General with no effort whatsover, back in the days this wasn’t common at all. How is this happening though.

May I add my five cents...I was thinking about this.Yes the forum is for everyone regardless of rank, points, social popularity or who's the coolest.And I agree,it seems on the forum you can become high rank by liking posts and posting posts, even if it's not meaningful advice,forum activity can give you rank.I'm not complaining about players with good game ranks that knows their stuff that are high ranking forum members.I'm pointing out players that have high forum ranks but have low terrible game records.Chances are good that some people have good game records but have a low forum rank,only because they don't spend much time on the forum.Most of the people I have encountered on the forum or must I say the regulars, have good high forum ranks and good game records.
I personally myself would feel stupid if I have a General of the Armies forum rank but I suck in the game with over a 100+ maps played with no victories.I'm not saying victories makes you the shite but it does contribute to your credibility as an experienced player.
For example there's a forum member that was chasing the rank of General of the Armies on the forum by liking posts left and right even if he disagreed with it, replying to posts, sometimes repeating the very same thing people posted and replying back by belittling other people.But his game record is pathetic.By the time this person will reach the rank of General of the Armies,he will be known as General of the Arseholes

I remember facing some level 170 player USA player in HWW. Easily crushed them, I don’t even recall them being active. Don’t trust ranks. There are also people like Claudio who had to make a new account but are actually very good at the game.

Yeah indeed, when I was level 30 I defeated a level 120 guy who was at least, somewhat active. Rank doesn't matter much. Its easy to farm rank, just play euro map. Real skills are tested in difficult maps like speed or WaW.Carking the 6th wrote:

(In the meantime I'm making notes in my little black book of all the good players,on the forum as well in-game,how they execute their strategy...the day when I'm able to join you freaks on a map, I will have my notes to counter,thank you hahaha)

I still remember when I was still a newbie, joining doomsday map, and got to play as N. Mexico.
Luckily, I was in a coalition, but the thing is... Once the peace period in the game is over, Argentina, and his other ally who were around rank 100+, and I still remember clearly that Argentina has silver medal, while his other ally has the same gold medal as my rank now IIRC.
Both of Argentina, and his ally were nuking me at the same time... I was asleep at that time, and just woke up to a new level of horror... I mean, the hell? That's not even fair.
I still have my leftover nukes, and use them all to nuke both of them, and using every unit I have to fight them... I didn't really know what to do back then, so I call my allies for help, and out of 5 allies of mine... Only 1 of them helped me, despite it isn't much... It's enough to give me time to push them...
They were too strong, and none of my allies were at least in the same rank as them IIRC... I was relentless at fighting them since I'm determined to win this no matter how silly I am I was in the game...
Somehow, they slowly stop moving their armies, and go inactive once I made my progress? Which is a luck in my time back in my noob days.
I began to gobble both of them, and continue to advance despite the ally of mine who helped me through that hard time was inactive as well. I was left with 1 ally who does absolutely NOTHING!
I'm literally solo-ing all of N. America by myself, including Cuba, and able to rack up around 1k+ of VPs followed with 1m cash out of it.
My last ally only came to my aid when I asked him to do so... It was a very fun round ngl.
I wish I could keep the archive, so I can brag about it, lol... But in the end, yes... Rank doesn't always matter in the game.
I'm fine if people want to get high rank in the forum, even if they're noob in the game... As long as they don't post something offensive/annoying. There's nothing to be ashamed about it.
For me, you do you, and I do me.

Fun times. It seems Argentina is always screwing you over, and in more than one way…Kadeko wrote:
