Rating Trophy Difficulties

Rating Trophy Difficulties

What is it?

The Trophy Difficulty Rating system is your chance to weigh in on how tough trophies really are. Let’s face it—some trophies are a walk in the park, and others? Absolute nightmares. By rating what you’ve earned, you’re helping the community know what they’re up against. Whether it’s the grind, the skill, or just plain luck, your input counts.

How It Works

Here’s the deal:

  • You Rate What You’ve Earned
    If you’ve unlocked a trophy, you can rate its difficulty. No proof required (though screenshots help the community), just your honest opinion. Think of it as a trust exercise—we’re counting on your integrity here.
  • Verified Ratings Carry More Weight
    Upload a screenshot of a trophy, and your rating gets a "verified" badge. Why? Because nothing says, "I’ve been through this grind" like an actual screenshot. Verified ratings have a bigger impact on the averages, giving them a bit of extra credibility.
  • XP for Your Opinions
    Every rating earns you 25 XP, no matter what. Whether it’s verified or not, you’re rewarded for helping the community.
  • Limits Keep It Fair
    You can rate up to 20 trophies per level, but there’s a loophole—uploading screenshots bypasses this cap. It’s a way to ensure people rate trophies they’ve genuinely earned, not ones they’ve just read about online. Once you rate a trophy, that rating sticks. You can tweak it later, but it’s here to stay.
  • Everyone Can See It
    The average difficulty rating for each trophy is visible to anyone. No logins, no gates—just the community’s collective wisdom on full display.

What to Consider When Rating

It’s not just about how hard you found it. Try to think about everything:

  • Skill Level: Was it a test of reflexes or strategy?
  • Time Commitment: Was it a quick grab or a months-long grind?
  • Extras: Did it require DLC? Was it tied to an online mode that made it harder (or easier)?

Basically, if it made you sweat—or didn’t—let the world know.


Why Does This Matter?

Your ratings shape how the community sees trophies. They make it easier for people to decide whether a game is worth diving into or if they’re up for the challenge of a notoriously tough trophy. Plus, with ratings influencing bounties, you’re adding an extra layer of strategy to how rewards are calculated.
