You can make as many categories for non-master members as you like (or up to 5 or whatever the limit is). But giving promotion/demotion privileges to one simply says "you can shuffle people around any category you'd like" as they're all effectively the same rank. There is no hierarchy. There is only a monarchy.
I do understand that.

However, SE decided to implement a system that's been in MMOs since ... forever. I know there were guild ranks in Anarchy Online, and that's from 2001, so I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they have ALWAYS been in MMOs. But in implementing guild ranks, they decided to re-invent the wheel and make it octagonal for some insane reason. It is only fair that the players complain and ask SE to use the GOOD, ROUND wheel instead of the bumpy OCTAGONAL one they invented.
