So whose ready to remove ranks?

Took me less than week to hit r50 and it was joke compared to 40-45, the problem i see here is that you havent really done any pvp before latest update, then ofc it will take alot time(i started pvp when SE added FL secure). PvP in here is pretty much same as PvE, if you dont keep up with the updates you will fall behind, but catch ups comes at slower pase than it comes to PvE(they just removed rank req from ilvl110 items, so this is the catch up for pvp). So all you can do atm is just to grind up to r50 before next update so you can keep up with progression, thus allowing you to wear latest pvp gear in future if you really want it that badly.

PvP "Gear" should be the only thing not tied to a rank. Skills+Everything else should be whats tied to rank.
