Required rank on all gear

[Viridiana]

So, you think that when people rank a new class, they go straight for the optimal gear and not the gear that is 15-20 ranks above them? Like you pointed out, players have already admit to do that and keep doing that. It's a little extreme, but it's their choice to look like a failure. Oh and btw, recipes are changing for mid rank crafting too.

Wait, they're a failure for wearing something with better stats? Damn! I've been going about this all backwards!
