Removing Ranks for newer gear.

[kensatsu]

it help but you can't rank up only by doing the weekly wintrade like he is saying, it's a perfect nonsense...
He is point we can't rank without wintrading. Nonsense is nonsense.
i expect 400 frontline to be what you need to get ranked 50. it's how players rank it (depend how much you win or loose)
these weekly wintrade of wolfden is just a little boost and don't realy mean people need to wintrade to rank up, it just help a few.
also pvper don't consider this as a grind, even when they reach rank50, pvper continue to play pvp. for the player only doing this for the glamour, it don't help you certainly won't reach your rank.

I also want to challenge the 'most people' assertion; I've never met anyone who does this. Maybe most people on your server or in your circles, sure. Personally I've never set foot in WD because it's impossible to get it to pop these days, but I really love FL so it turned out ok. If you don't love FL I don't really understand why you want the gear so much that you need to have it now; the unlocked ilv100/110 sets are way more interesting, design-wise.

It's an issue that if you start fresh and don't want the glamours you basically have no rewards for most of the levels up to 45, then you suddenly get a bunch of things in quick succession. But it's not an insurmountable barrier.

Even if they unlock the current items I'd expect them to add a new tier to reward the people who bothered with the levelling up instead of complaining, so you're still going to be annoyed other people have something you don't. And that's how it should be - rewards come after doing something, not before.

Yeah, that is not a good way to reward people.

OP just wants to equip PvP gear without doing PvP which is completely stupid. Can I equip Alex Savage gear without doing Savage pls.

I switched on 9/27/15 I hit rank 50 past week. I also only had 3 weeks with over 30 matches. They were also before the pvp xp increase. How can you not be rank 50 by now? When you were rank 18 a month before me. Also as you can see my win rate is kind of crappy for Adders so its not like I was getting max xp either. You should probably stick to just complaining about this with your friends.

I just hit rank 50 recently. I only have 2 wolves den matches ever and 342 frontlines. Its really a lot easier to rank up now that they increased xp some. Just do enough each week to complete the frontlines challenge log and itd take about 3 months. If id been doing wolves den challenge log too it would have been much quicker. I'd rather they not remove the rank requirement on the pvp gear.

Most people win trade for easy ranking. Its one of the only ways you can beat the mindless pointless grind.

Where are "most people" who I've never seen in my ff14 life. Lol

[FudoMyoo]

There's no need for win trade, just complete the 7 frontline battle and 3 wins weekly for the challenge log.

There is a HUGE difference to this.

This has no comparison to that.
