i voted no. i dont care about ratings so i dont care if i lose a few imaginary points to someone. my rates have ranged from 1400 to 1850. makes no difference to me.
to support my vote:
a) games are more competitive with rating on, and fun/friendly games can be played with rating off
b) i know gamespy player who dont/wont/cant use igz because it has anti-cheat scripts not because they are ask to rate the games
on the contrary:
c) recently i have visited another free client similar to the old zone called gameranger (google it), a lot of the members of EMP clan were playing there and saying they wont play on igz because everyone there is point-hungry nerds who care about their ratings too much. it would be great to have these players back and playing on igz
d) igz make it fukn hard to install the client and get a game going for people who arent complete nerds
