That's at least 130 hours of doing Seal Rock again, and again. Saying that's not absurd is like claiming the original drop rate on Atmas or Alexandrite were fine, they weren't. All that is with a minimal queue time for 5 minutes, it can easily reach 20-30+. It should have some grind, but not to this extent especially when SE refuses to release more than one map and doesn't work on class balance for PvP.
    If you don't enjoy the class balance or single relevant map for PVP, why should you care if you attain rank 50 or not? Your complaints should be about PVP in general needing a fix, not about the "grind" being lessened.

    If you don't enjoy PVP that's one thing - call for improvements to the mode, and save yourself the misery of the grind if you dislike it so much. But pretty much all of these rank complaints are rooted in the desire to obtain the PVP gear for glamour purposes without putting in nearly as much effort as your predecessors, which is ridiculous.

    Ranks aren't a grind if you enjoy PVP. People should be focusing on ways to make PVP more enjoyable, not on ways for PVEers to get vanity gear.

    I couldn't care less for the gear, the only thing I liked was the weapon accompanying the Batsight set, and now that's no longer restriction. The new Ninja gear (in my opinion) looks hideous, as does Batsight (too cluttered for my tastes). I still have a problem with them locking ADS behind PvP though, something originally found in PvE. 200 wins too? That's nothing more than a sorry excuse to keep you subscribed, if it was 200 matches, or 200 1st and 2nd place added together, maybe not so, but as it stands the grind long overstays its welcome, for one mount.
