Include highest ELO ever reached for a game in players profile

[Ceaseless]

I do not understand why

As elo can vary thanks to luck/partner skills, the highest elo serves as an outlier quite likely to be caused by those very things. Factors that have less to do with a player's actual skill than external factors coming together.

I see that as a trophy, not as a skill indicator. Same when you end first in a tournament

Trophies have an achievable requirement. "Finishing first in a tournament" is a specific action a player can actually do. "Highest elo" isn't, it's just a static fact, so it cannot be like trophies on BGA.

It would be for me, far more than all the chocolate medals that are handed out left and right.

You clearly did not understand my post. For a trophy, there is a "before trophy event", where you don't have the trophy, and an "after trophy event" where you do, which does not exist for highest elo.

There is a also a before (I never reached that level before) and an after (so sad that I got down from this level, very proud to show how far I could go with my skills and a bit of luck).

But that only applies if you consider each and every number separately. Should there be an Elo 373 trophy, and an Elo 374 trophy, and an Elo 375 trophy, and ...??

You already get trophies for ELO 100, 200, 300, 500 and 700. That should be more than enough.

I'm starting to get really fed up with having to justify myself for a request that causes NO harm to anyone. Do you really have that much time to waste criticizing a request that only concerns me and others like me who just want to see their best performance displayed?

You created a thread for public discussion, you will get public discussion, some comments for, some against.

What I have some difficulties with, is why some answers absolutely try to demonstrate that my request is nonsense. Just tell "I don't like it", or "I don't need it".

If you really want to go further and advocate against my request, try to answer some of these questions before :

• Do I understand why Hagardunor would be pleased if this request was implemented ?

• will this request cause me any harm ?

• will it harm anybody else ?

• do I know if the developpers are against implementing it, whatever the reason ?

• would I feel better if this request was rejected ?

All I want when opening this thread is to gather enough support so that the developers will take my request into consideration (we're still a long way from that). As long as it doesn't harm anyone, there's no reason to try to tear it down.

That doesn't mean I forbid any negative opinions about it (people have the right not to like it). What I can't stand is when people feel compelled to come up with bogus arguments to justify those opinions. Or maybe it's just that they're not sure of their own opinion.
