Should FFR have D8?

[SpaceGorilla]

I'm just asking some of you guys if you think it's appropriate for the FFR devs to add a new division for the high-tier players (such as 95+ AAA equivalent). I know this has been thought of and debated over a lot, so maybe all it takes to make the push is for someone to see a lot of approval from the community.

Also, might I suggest (if anyone is interested and hasn't already seen it) reading this thread http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...d.php?t=145065 for a little bit of insight as well as some projections?

I don't think so. Not yet, at least. The number of people I'd actually consider to be so far out of everyone's league that they need an 8th division is in the single digits.

yes
d8 doesn't need to be big to exist

d7 is like a solid 2 division gap
I don't actually know because I'm not good yet but that sounds about right to me

I don't even like divisions to begin with

As someone who isn't even high D6, no.

D7 is the pinnacle of FFR imo. What purpose would a D8 have? D7 players are categorized pretty much that they can do 89+ 10:1 (Probs exaggeration) PR ratio (with AAA's to boot)

Re: Should FFR have D8?

Divisions should be removed

Alternatively if we keep them then yes D8 should probably exist

Now if you'll excuse me apparently there's a Rhydon outside

Really? I don't see the reason to even have a D8. Maybe it's a high D6, actual D7 thing.

I'd agree, but we'd need a replacement.

And a "small" D8 is not a solution at all...we'd have a D8 with like 6 people in it? That 's not a division, that's a banlist.

Really? I don't see the reason to even have a D8. Maybe it's a high D6, actual D7 thing.

The differential in skill between lowest D7 and highest D7 is more than twice (arguably approaching or exceeding thrice) as large as the differential between lowest D6 and highest D6.

Re: Should FFR have D8?

I might be in the minority (at least in this thread) but I like divisions
It's responsible for a huge amount of the attention the Official Tournament gets, and allows things to be more relatable
Like I understand how it can be seen as unfair in some respects but no D3 person is gonna come out of retirement to play in a divisionless Official

Have 8 people in it and every round 1 gets eliminated.
