PVP ranks and changing Grand Companies

[Vandril]

No it won't, you will just end up with no Frontline at all. You will just end up with one GC is lacking of enough players and everyone will be getting horrible long que. By the way, Twin Adder is already have issue because their much smaller population on the Primal. Your arguments is short sighed.

If this were true, then we'd already have that problem due to the fact that players already have to choose one of 3 GCs. Many people personally like their GCs and take pride in them.

Sounds like you want everything handed to you. I have friends that switched over GCs, rank 40 pvp and had no problem switching and reranking back to 40. If you want to play with friends switch over, shows more about your character doing it for your friends than not doing it because of a video game rank.

You're right. I (and the OP, too, I'd imagine) want my PvP ranks that I already earned handed to me. I don't want them taken away; that's not fun. Earning the ranks the first time is fun as a progression mechanic, but having to re-earn them due to them being arbitrarily linked to individual GCs is unfun and bad game design. Expecting and receiving a certain level of comfort/entitlement in a game is a good thing. Refer to the Rule of Fun.

Also, don't confuse "wanting everything handed" and "wanting what was already earned".
