Zeon why can expoits happen you can only move up above the players above you. I think you are in danger of over thinking this. Fundamentally the ladder is pretty simple in my eyes.
If you take the current pantheon as an example, i am about 47th yet i can probably beat players up to 10 places above. With a ladder i would even out about 37th and can then strive to beat the players above

just say i was rank 10
some other kid rank 110
he beats me unequiped and climbs 100 spots without earning his spot..
would be nice to see a way that if the opponent is not equiped it does not count towards the ladder, in the new loggers it mentions what they have, if no weapon i say no climb... i mean if that isnt possible no worries, just would be nice to see everything earned instead of given
Good call. But they could still equip a very low weapon and do the same :S

not a gooe idea imo, someone could use candies to get to a artificially high rank, then unequip so he/she would stay at that rank for as long as they want..
and if someone wants to cheat and get his friend to unequip, and he jumps from rank 100 to rank 30, so be it, he will be the one enduring 70 attacks back down to rank 100 where he belongs.
oh and i believe that with this implemented, online attacks should be allowed!
Yet everyone will beat that player that rose and he will drop back down again. He gets his 15 mins for being at the top but the beauty of the ladder is that he wont be able to stay there.

Here is the thing. Some player have a build that are stronger than the other build. Technically speaking.
Player A can beat Player B. Player B can beat Player C. But, for some reason, Player A can't beat Player C.
In addition, I felt that AL is not as fun as it would be. This is indirectly cause by not much surprise attack. This would change that.
You can't blame them for attacking you online due to Ladder Random Challenge. So, u just take the hit as good sport.
Also, AL is all about being random. When you surprisingly found out that you just attacked a player that you normally can't beat and won, this would definitely add some spice to the game.
Damn, if I got an event about a ladder battle about to start, I would be like. Who will be fighting me. Let's get this belt on, maybe candy... And, wait for the clock to click.
So would the ladder have its own district or how would that work?

Random would be one way to fix that no equipment issue.

New District would be possible, but not really necessary.
Just a "Ladder" link would do. It could take us to a Ladder page to issue a challenge.
I am very much impress with idea

i know, but, these are the things people are gonna bitch about and say the ladder is flawed, people cheat, everybody knows that most of the shit in these forums is useless bitching about all the bad things in the game
