Is it just me or is this easily the most unfair ribbon in the game?  Having a 3 to 1 win loss ratio is next to impossible unless you are an admin on a server and can always switch to the winning team.  I've been trying to wiggle up my win loss ratio but it counts losses even after you leave the server!

Do you think that EA will ever change this ribbon to make it more reasonable?  Or are we forever doomed to missing one ribbon?

The ribbon is designed to be attained only by the best of the best. I seriously doubt I'll ever get my hands on it, but I don't really mind, n nor will most other ppl, like I said, only the best of the best will get it, which is probably exactly how EA/Dice intended it.

No, only the very best winning-team-joiner will get it...
When you are good it has to do with some skillz, but when you are the only skilled player in your hole fuckin team the you will loose, no matter how much you rule...
So, yeah, I say too: It´s a very unfair ribbon...

Best commanders that really know what to do will probably get it... I f they have a good team, of course.

The worst part is that it is almost in reach.....I could get it if I camped 16 player servers as commander for 500 wins..... but that would take way too much time.

Oh well, I guess I can just go for more expert badges then.

lol, nah, one good player can turn the tide of a battle bro. I've had a few games, where my team lost like 5
rounds in a row, n then we get another good player joins the game on our team and we win the next 5. If u've ever had +plus Smiley or someone similar join ur team in that sought of situation, u'll no wot I mean.

Like I said, only for the best of the best. N besides, there is no way a guy could do it by just team-switching the whole way through, auto-balance stops that to a fair extent. It's so funny after watching ur whole team join the opposing team after they've just smashed u completely the round b4, n then watching as the autobalance kicks in n throws most of them back again .

well, i'm working toward this ribbon right now.  i started off with about a 1.3 win/loss ratio and now i'm at 2.87.  they key is to play 16 player servers.  the rounds go quickly and all it takes is one or two good players to win the round.  i can honestly say that since i started trying for this ribbon, i've switched teams less than 10 times.  being in a squad with one or two other good players usually means a win for your team in a 16 player server.

How many hours do you think it has taken to get from 1.3 to where you are now?

haha...wow.  um...easily over 100.  i never really thought about it in terms of hours...i just knew what my goal was (when i started i needed somewhere around 400 straight wins without a loss) and i worked toward that.  granted, i've lost along the way...but i'm down to about 30 more wins.  it's definitely possible to get it without switching, cheating, or whatever...it's just really difficult and takes a long time.

I just broke 2.0 on my win loss - I looked at my stats and checked the ribbon and realized I need to work a hell of a lot harder to get it. Also, that's around the point my climbing SPM stopped and I pretty much stopped winning stars - but I started winning games, which oddly enough, gives me fewer points. I did this by killing the odd guys sneaking around the back, repairing assets, being what people needed (need ammo, I'll be support) and occasionally grabbing a chopper and grabbing all flags by myself (star, here I come ). i need to win around 200 or something more games lossless and 3 wins to every loss I do take.

All of this I play on 50 or 64 player servers. Trust me, going 1 for 1 for ten rounds is infuriating, but it happens.

If I win the next 1247 matches in a row (Which I will) then I will get it, I won the last 700 rounds in a row.
Its all about playing on servers with auto team balance  turned off. You may flame me but no matter what you think it doesn’t have any effect on your team if you change in the last 5 tickets then change back again the next round, you have lost anyway.

I have the 3:1 win ratio, just need about 14 more hours as commander.  Trick for me is being in a clan, squading up, and know your clan mates strengths and weaknesses.  Also you need to have TeamSpeak.

You people talk of this ribbon as if it is very difficult to get, witch it is but you really can't team switch for this ribbon because as one of you said autobalance nails most of the guys trying to do it. BTW I like the fact that some of you think only the Best of the Best can get it. I guess that means I'm an elite cause I have it, and it took me 6 months to do it.  I hope you guys can get it because it it a bitch to do. The only thing you have to do is decide is if you really need it. My name is Desert515 Pround OWNER of the War College Ribbon. BTW my k/d ratio is nothing to smile at so I guess I'm a good flag capper.

No, not really.  Being skilled in a jet and then playing on 16p servers helps.

Is it just me or is this easily the most easy feature to use on the forums (search feature)? Having 321 posts about the same damn topic is fucking pointless. I've been trying to tell these dumbass n00bs to use the god damn search feature for about fucking ever but it never seems to get through to their fucking heads!

Do you think that people will ever change this idiotic behavior and become more sensible? Or are we forever doomed to trying to get through to them?
