You totally misunderstood what elo is supposed to measure.

If you want something that always increases, look at the number of games played and ignore elo :D

As the previous post said, you don't understand what Elo is. Learn what Elo is.

Better yet the number of victories which is possible. I don’t believe you can filter out the losses but if you could only view your victories it would show what op is asking for. Not sure what good that would be anyway though because I suppose a 300elo player could’ve gained the same amount (or more) as a 600 player.

Here is the FAQ entry related to the ELO : https://boardgamearena.com/faq?anchor=faq_account_elo

Spoiler: The ELO is designed to compare your level with other players. So what's the point if all players always increase their ELO?

BTW, please don't use WE when it's YOUR opinion, or explain who you are speaking for.

OK, so reading between the lines, what the op seems to want is the maximum elo reached, instead of (or in addition to) the current elo.

If you are premium, you can see your statistics for every game, among which is a graph of elo history, from which you can see what your maximum is. In any case, the actual meaning of that is... nothing.

I thought they wanted something like co op games. Where you can’t go back but it just keeps adding. We’ll figure this mystery out :lol:
