So whose ready to remove ranks?

[AskaRay]

87.5 hours, plus probably more of straight grinding.

I'm not sure what games you play but I can blink and spend that long in a game... don't even wanna /ptime on this game.
If you don't like waiting for queues raise some Pokemon or fish while you wait.

How about this... remove the removal of rank requirements from ALL old gear... so that people like you can't parade around in gear you didn't earn?

Didn't think so, you already got 45 ranks worth of handouts... get lost.

The gear is a reward for those who actually put the effort in to do PvP. You're going to need to do a lot of grinding just to buy all the gear and weapons, so you may as well deal with it. Start buying the old 110 glamour pieces while you rank up, that'll keep you occupied. How is removing ranks and suddenly making all the work all of us who have been doing PvP for over a year now worthless a good thing? 7 weeks.... HA!

I actually did FL every day and in 3 weeks I'm rank 33.

Rank should go faster imo. They are obviously there to make people grind for vanity gear. I'd rather base rank on wins. Like in you cant rank up unless you win a battle.

10 wins = rank 5. 20 wins = rank 7. And so on. Tis could make vanity grinders try harder to win.

Faster? No. The old gear should still require rank, in jubs opinion. Make people earn that look that they are seeking in vanity PvP gear.

And the r45+ gear isn't just vanity gear. While morale/materia don't work in Frontlines (which is stupid yes) the PvP i180 gear sets have something the PvE sets don't. Higher dmg potential. You don't need nearly as much ACC as PvE gear puts out. If you are DD/Tank going into Frontlines with your mass ACC PvE setup... stop going, or listen and make an effort to do it right. 420ish ACC and good to go... pile on the DET/SS/CRIT which the PvP i180 sets provide.

What they should of done, is remove rank requirements off gear. Made ranking system actually give you things like:

"PvP Skills".

When you rank up you get points to enhance skills, I think you have no idea what you're doing. I hope they never release rank requirements on gear again so it keeps people like you out.

[MentheusDreyar]

Not just skills, but stats as well

[CeveArthu]

The original system required you to unlock the skills with rank points first, it was pretty silly (also the upgrades varied in cost, up to 7 per upgrade iirc)

It doesn't keep people out. It makes people "AbandonHope" (see what I did there?) to them. I was more talking about PvP Talent Points. Passive abilities or strength or something that keep you stronger in PvP.
