    @Sythe LoL Verified Booster(s): Mini Rank

    This has been discussed in SL and the outcome as it stands now is -

    Why should this market be protected? What differs this from calling someone a verified gold seller in a market such as the RS market. Also, noticing a little symbol next to someone's name/post count won't make any difference to seeing the words "Verified" in a large quote in someone's original post.

    Also, this would grant unfavourable preference to a small group of people.

    Unless there's some opposition to the things stated above, it's likely this will be denied.

    Boosting differs from selling gold tremendously. Selling gold simply requires the RSGP. Boosting requires, tolerance, capability and a certain skill set. They require a certain level of ranked accounts, and ratings within the LoL competitive scene - We verify that what each booster has advertised, and determine if it's true or not. You can't compare boosting to other leveling or gold selling services, they are completely different.

    With Boosting we verify;

    • said accounts highest rating
    • play a few games and or spectate a ranked game in their respective highest Tier.
    • Request a PM on LoL from the highest level account they advertise to own/skill level be at.

    Yes it would. It would make a huge difference. The majority of customers who come to Sythe for the LoL market simply arrive here by google. They do not assimilate with a quote saying Verified, they don't know who we are, yet bother to read stickies - I'm sure some do, but not all. A badge stating said individual has been inspected and verified to great extents is far more clear than a quote in the OP, which half the time looked over or missed.

    By applying the verified minirank to a booster, it doesn't mean Sythe is held liable or associates with them in any manner - this would be made clear. It simply states that what said booster advertises in terms of their skill and capability is true - which we have verified.

    You guys don't understand, it's not an unfavourable preference. To Boost you have to be verified, it's a requirement as such. If people refuse verification it's either because what they advertise is false, or they are scammers. So it's basically weeding out the rotten ones. We don't force people to be verified, however we encourage it, and offer as much help to them as possible.

    @Sythe LoL Verified Booster(s): Mini Rank

    Sythe asked me to look into this and I don't agree this should be implemented.

    I designed MiniRanks to be for participation, contest winners, fun, and so on. They are not designed to be for official designations or "verified" statuses. As such, the request your making, for a "verified" LoL status, is not appropriate for the MiniRank system.

    Whenever we make something a MiniRank or regular rank, we stamp our Sythe seal of approval on it. People will instantaneously think Sythe.org is sponsoring whatever activity the rank represents. In this case, we do no sponsor LoL verification as we have nothing to do with it. It's not an official responsibility we have, verifiers are not "official" users, verifiers are not Sythe staff, and so on. Why would we put our implied approval on a system we have nothing to do with? This could lead to people having a false sense of trust and a false sense of security and, if they should encounter issues of some sort, they will hold Sythe.org responsible. Remember, this is a service YOU as users have set up between other users.

    It also seems to me that the motivation for this request is not due to need but out of a desire for convenience. Sorry if people can't read threads, and sorry you have to answer questions, but MiniRank or not you will have the same issues. Just because you stick a little image on someone doesn't mean people won't ever have questions or issues.

    We realize LoL has a lot of momentum behind it and we don't want to derail or change your verification process. However, this process is a USER to USER process and is not an official Sythe.org process. As such, you should not label it "official" in any way but are free to continue operating the list of users and verification service.

    Matthew, I forwarded the PM's between me and Sythe that explains everything. Also, if you read the above response from me, you'd realise that Sythe.org wouldn't be held liable for this minirank, and it wouldn't be stamping a seal on it.

    Miniranks are Matthew's purview, therefore the final decision on this will be his
