Remove PvP rank reset when changing grand companies

It has been announced that for Frontlines players must be in the same Grand Company to queue together on the same team. The biggest issue with this is when you change Grand Companies, your PvP rank is reset back to 0, eliminating all the time and effort you put into ranking up.

This issue is currently being discussed on the PvP forums here along with several suggestions of how to avoid this situation:

It would be great if switching Grand Company did not reset your PvP rank back to 0

Liked and Supported.

A merc system should also be put in place to speed up queue times.

Responded to the thread in the PvP forums, but I just wanted to voice my concern here as well. If they want to keep the GC restrictions then at least make PvP rank tied to your character, instead of to your GC like it is now. That way players would be able to switch GC's in order to play frontlines with their friends without losing the PvP ranks that they spent hours accumulating.

Also wanted to voice my concern for this system if it works as we currently believe. Not only will this make it a huge inconvenience to be able to play with friends, but it will hurt the longevity of frontlines. Any of these proposed solutions would make a huge difference.

The main group of people I PvP with (and the only reason I PvP) would be split up by this. If you're going to make us switching GC's to play with each other, you need to have it not reset our PvP level. I'm already 20ish. Not doing that grind again.

I agree with OP, I hope this gets fixed.

Agree 100%!

Agreed, looking forward for this change.
