Rank vs. Level

[charlemagne]

"I'm ranking thaumaturge" just sounds odd. I'll level my jobs thanks.

Personally I am fond of rank. but really there completely interchangeable.

Level feels more fitting, plus it's a term that's been used in games since the first RPGs. Plus a character has a level of skill, a rank of skill just sounds weird.

Leve operates best for power.
Rank operates best for your importance.

[Synthesis]

Level up !

I don't really understand why it has to be "level." Are people incapable of moving past anything? Currently we are essentially skilling up weapons as our main source of progress. Makes more sense to denote our progress as "weapon ranks" as opposed to "weapon levels." Just like it makes more sense to be gaining "skill points" instead of "experience points."

It really doesn't matter to me what they use, the difference is really irrelevant. I just don't see the need to change something that has been in the game for a year now just to stay in line with standard MMORPG terminology and a series that doesn't even seem to use typical experience levels anymore.
