What’s even the point of having “guess” in the game?

What’s even the point of having “guess” in the game?

Bruh I got a 24 hour ban for getting a lucky guess in west Australia. Apparently I was too close for their liking and so I was suspended for using external sources. Tried to appeal this in discord and one of the mods did respond by ignoring 4 of the 5 different round walkthroughs and focused on that specific Perth guess where they responded to me with “hmmm”.

Here is what it looks like. The street name was in english and the landscape looked Australian which narrowed it down. From my experience the empty desert regions were always near Perth so I randomly clicked close to there and I got it. My opponent was not far either.

Iirc, my friend and I actually LOST the game. Would a cheater really lose like that?

Saw my hometown

I live in Whitehorse Yukon a small city in northern Canada. The map appeared and I said “that looks like the back of the Yukon Inn”. Move the map slightly, “there’s McDonald’s and Tags across the street”.

Anyone else see places that are very well known to you?

The world is a pretty big place

How random are the locations? I’ve been playing a week or so (40% win rate) and I seem to be seeing a lot of Sri Lanka and Indonesia. There are tons of countries that I haven’t seen yet.

1v1 system

Can we PLEASE make it so the games are infinite instead of 5 rounds? It’s so annoying when you lose by like 100 points because of a lucky guess and lose loads of elo because of it. I feel like a system like other games with multipliers and stuff would be so much more skill based

ELO dropped from 2700 to 900 overnight — what happened?

Been playing WorldGuessr for only about four days. Yesterday, I was around 2,700 ELO and was getting +30–40 for wins while losing very little on losses.

Today, my ELO suddenly dropped to around 900, and now wins give me only +10–15 while losses cost around 15–20.

Was there an ELO reset/recalculation or a recent change to the Ranked Duel rating system? Has anyone else experienced this?
