why u negate my post? we dont know each other

This is a public forum on the internet. We don't have to know each other to give our opinions. And if you mean "report" with "negate", that's not what they're saying. It's just a topic that's likely to be closed as soon as a moderator sees it, just because of the nature of the topic.

It's not about population.  We cover this every time.

Links are based on a servers glicko score.

Where do you get this from?

When a server is linked, it's glicko score never updates to reflect it's current performance.  It's been that way since server linking was introduced.

This is how Mag got KN.  First place overall with last place overall, nothing to do with population.

So?  That's not evidence that the lowest rated server gets linked to the highest rated server.  Where is the historic data?  And are you saying that it's only first and last place getting linked?  Because on that leaderboard AR is 2nd place and yet they aren't linked to the 2nd last place DR because AR is a linked server itself.  The same goes for SoS, Ebay, and FC on that list.  It sounds completely made up to say that server links are done by glicko but the idea doesn't hold true when you look closer at that list.

I'm not trying to convince people.  Anet has said, and has been using since launch, glicko to determine how they do rankings.  It got a little weird with one up one down, where the system speaks for itself, but relinks have stuck with glicko for pairing servers.

Don't forget they also mention at the start of that thread resetting the glicko volatility and deviation on relinks  That's the only thing I recall that they said they do with glicko for server links.  It was for matchmaking purposes, not linking purposes.  Back before 1u1d.

Later they were doing all sorts of manual rating adjustments too because a linked server became a host server and had an outdated rating.  It made a mess with matches.
