| KylieDog said: Not an exact science is putting it too kindly. It flat out doesn't represent how hard a platinum is at all. Small selling games with a hard plat but dedicated fanbase end up with the trophies being too common, large selling games with a grindy but easy plat end up too rare. |
I get what you're saying. It's interesting, however, that it still kinda works out in the big picture. For example, you're still #1 even with the fewest plats out of those in the top 5, and with a average rarity of 22%, which is relatively low and representative of your average in the previous system. Tbone, obviously known for getting hard plats, has an average of 16.3%, which sounds quite right.
On the other end, I've got an average rarity of 32.6% -- quite high but not as high as Dark Odin (34.5%), which is exactly as it was in the old system too. And we're both not as high as resident trophy hunting machine/whore (no offense) who has the average of 38.5%, which also sounds about right.
When looking at trophy rarities individually, some of them indeed may not be the most accurate representation. But when taking a whole collection into account, the culmulative result doesn't seem that far off, is all I'm saying. I'm not too fussed about it either way, and so I think I'll just leave the decision to the guy who has to do the updates on a weekly basis.
