I'd love to see this happen for a few reasons:

1) Wins against the AI are meaningless when it comes to rating.
2) Wins against the AI are mixed with wins against humans, making it a useless statistic.
3) Wins against the AI "devalue" those human wins as they're combined.
4) Wins against the AI make the title associated with wins meaningless.
5) AI inflated win totals can mask how bad a player (like me) really is.

Granted I'm sure it's low on the "to do list", but I'd like to think others feel the same way as I do and maybe enough people chime in, it might rise in priority a teeny bit. (Plus it's always good to document these things so they don't get forgotten.)

I agree with you, Loopy. I actually feel like playing against the AI sometimes, but avoid doing so because I don't want my win number to get overinflated and misrepresent the amount of experience I have.

I also especially agree that the current system makes the number of wins much less informative than it could be.

I disagree with point #1, in principle. The ability to consistently beat the AI does demonstrate a certain degree of game knowledge and skill... even if the victory is, in part, based on your ability to manipulate the AI's bad habits. Maybe a victory against the AI could have less of an impact on rating, or maybe after some number of games it no longer affects your rating at all, but I still think the AI can be considered to have a rating value.

I do agree with the other points.

Defintely not true. I can beat AI with playing 3 cards. That's not a skill, winning only by clicking "Pass".

And I have to agree with Loopy in all the points. The wins against AI really shouldn't be counted. :roll:
