o climb the tiers, you need to contribute in the match noticeably--which is reflected in the XP earning. Higher tier players tend to have 1100 XP per average match.

You forget that there is a boost to XP earned per match with premium time enabled which again is not shown or separated in the stats. Without stats collected for premium vs. non-premium time, XP gain isn't a sound or valid measure of player contribution to a match.

I would have to believe its greatly biased on w/l - this last event I watched that slide into the negative with all the people suicide rushing and d/c'ing.

I think this is accurate. My K/D has gone up 0.05 in the last week, but my PSR doesn't seem to have budged much, judging from the effects I've witnessed my matches have on it post-tracking bar.

Liar. Paul, himself, said that in the super-duper best optimal you never lost a game and got deathstar 100 times you could possibly expect tier 2 in 1000 games. More likely, if you were a decent w/l expect 2500 games -- NOT 500

I don't know about that....I lost plenty of games, and have not even gotten ace of spades once (let alone deathstar). I have a little less than 1000 games, and I am tier 2 (not too far into it mind you). so if he were a fair bit better than me (not all that hard ) I could see him being a higher tier 2 after less games.

It does seem that your rating is heavily tied to your WLR. Since this equation does not count CW matches and pug groups are completely random that means your skill rating is mostly tied to a completely random set of circumstances. Since you are only 1/12 of any given team you can have very little impact on the outcome of the game, even if you are a good pilot, theis seems a bad idea. This means your true skill has almost nothing to do with your skill rating, but instead your luck in match selection.

Yet another decent idea poorly executed by the devs at PGI. It seems that your KDR should have more to do with your skill level than your WLR,

When i playtested changes on my Jenner setup i lost more than i won and have lost the scratch of a Pixel that was on my xp bar - so far winning was a gain and losing a loss in the Tier ranking.
