Please take this survey concerning our highest ranks as players

#1

Yes there is nothing stopping you from lying about your rank, but what does that really accomplish? Please be honest.

There is the link for the poll. I haven’t been able to find any statistics as to how the playerbase is divided. I suspect 50% or so of the playerbase is in gold or silver but thats just my guess.

I am aware that this is not a good sample size this is just for a very general idea.

I will post the results tomorow morning and again tomorow night.

As of the morning of 7/31 (74 Total Responses):
1/1% Bronze
9/12% Silver
12/16% Gold
21/29% Diamond
30/41% S Rank

for a user base this large, one day is not enough time for a poll.

Highest rank reached is different from current rank, and will skew the numbers up. From experience, I’ve never seen a S-ranked player in a position lower than ~280, certainly never anyone in the 300s, so I’d guess there are about 300 S-rank players total, on average. Due to the lack of streaks in Diamond, in order for some to reach S, others must lose, so I’d expect there to be an incredibly sharp downturn between Diamond and S. Gold is the minimum for the monthly legendary, and many gold players can be matched with those who don’t make it much past 5 in Diamond, so I’d expect Gold to be the most populated, with Silver and Diamond somewhere below that. The sampling rate on this website is unlikely to mirror that though.

It might be that Diamond is more populated that Gold, since streaks can make it very easy to bump into Diamond even if you don’t have the skill to make it in that league. I highly doubt it, but it’s possible I suppose.

To go backward from the 300 S-rank players, I’d expect maybe ten times that in Diamond, roughly twice that in Gold, and half again in Silver, so 3000 diamond, 6000 gold, 3000 silver, ~12000 active players total. I’m probably low-balling. Be cool to know exact.

Yeah I know, its just for a very general idea of how the forum users are ranked

I wasnt really sure how to phrase the question. I thought maybe to ask for an average rank, but that seemed kinda odd. I think I probably should have gone for current rank now that I think about it, but oh well. I might post another poll for the ranked season after the shimizar stuff is out

just started this month, and just got to gold! :smile:

The highest rank doesn’t mean much, there is a massive difference of level between someone who manage to reach S-rank once by grinding like crazy and someone who get to S-rank every month without problem. Beside the average level on this forum is much higher than the average player base.

Like Thanatos said there is probably around 300 S-rank players in Duelsyt which I assume is a very very small portion of the player base( less than 1%). In your poll you already have 43% S-rank :/.

I am expecting the vast majority of the account in bronze and the majority of the active players in gold.

I honestly don’t think your poll can give you an accurate representation. :confused:
The problem I’m thinking of is that the participants of your poll are players that not only play the game, but have registered here, regularely check the posts and correspond with other players, so they are pretty active members.
I’m afraid most of the players reading this are way above average and taking their peak rank will probably give you a very high result.

Including voluntary response bias, these results will definitely be skewed higher. I’m pretty sure less than 41% of players are in S-rank.
