Will PvP scoreboard ever be fixed? Probably has been asked plenty of times already but just curious. Thanks.

OH you know what...that was a PvP LEADERBOARD.... though I am not sure how they are keeping stats up on that thing if the Scoreboard inside the game is broken.

And I am still wondering how the PvP Leaderboard on the web is gathering stats. I have to go search for that page, again. I just can not remember what I was "googling" around for when I ran into that thing.

and right after the T6 Vor'Cha and Vo'Quv
Hmm....interesting.
Maybe that should be a cautionary tale for everyone asking for mixed teams. Can't get Federation or Klingon in Red vs. Blue teams straightened up.
We should be glad there isn't more problem with mixed faction Events.

The programmer who created it is a player, and well known PvP player to boot. Like most PvP players he is in and out of STO. The board works with a log parser he programmed which logs matches when they hit proper requirements full 5v5 match doesn't end early ect. He assigned a point system which looks at not just kills but healing and utility skill use to award style points ect. He built a better tool then Cryptic themselves have done which has continued to work with little issue for a few years now. Frankly it makes me a little sad, that a STO fan with a little bit of his own free time can do a better job then the developers. (I say little bit because I believe talking to him the bulk of his leaderboard was done in an afternoon. He even added us a Tyler Durden channel match balancer that uses data it knows about previous matches to auto balance teams... not that we ever really had enough data for that to work extremely well but still he built a better matching system then Cryptics in less then an hour. lol)
I have a question for the Devs...
Can the PvP scoreboard be reverted, (and hence, PvP reverted) back to Klingon vs. Federation? I think that Red Vs. Blue thing....was an error. Now, I am assuming: RvB is just a mix of all factions in any combination.
I am telling you what I see missing is: there is no longer a healthy competition between rivalries that is encompassing the entirely of PvP. There is nothing at that highest level to define who is the rival.
With that score board being out of commish for so long....there isn't even a way to TRACK who is superior....can not have a competition without that.
Hence, you have little groups of thugs, some in teams. going after whatever is available. It is an atmosphere of desperation, almost. If someone hits back or even taunts back, lets gang up on that one, over and over.
That is why your PvP Endeavors turn out to be just another "Laydown and FARM" queue idea. The ENTIRE reason you REMOVED rewards from PvP in the first place.
And these PvP gangsters think: OOOO This is entertainment!
What it is: no challenge, no competition. Again.
Yeah, it is problematic: the equality of ships or gear.... but what is worse, is PvP an activity for asshats and bullies.

Your explanation of Dev behavior, especially with regard to PvP, was spot on. Well played.

I was wondering if /pvpreport actually still works? Or does that come up blank, also?
