Notice Regarding World Match Shiltz Ranking Point Adjustments

Greetings, Adventurers.
Shiltz Ranking Points are awarded based on Class Ranking in World Match.
However, we have identified that differences in regional participation can lead to
significant differences in the points earned, even with a similar level of participation.
In certain region, fewer participants made it easier for characters to secure higher rankings.
When multiple characters on the same account received these rewards,
their combined points could have a disproportionate impact on the overall Shiltz Ranking.
We have confirmed cases where this affected the ranking results.
To maintain fair competition, we will adjust the affected points
and change how World Match points are counted at weekly settlement.
