So whose ready to remove ranks?

[Guesswhat]

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.

Faster? No...

OK, 1 win = rank 50... Faster?
My point was to gain rank by wins, not by "arbitrary" PvP exp. Your reasoning, albeit strawmanish to my post, isn't bad.

Naw... while Jubs is all for people earning what they want, and being more powerful for earning what they have (much more so than too many panzies these days) thats a bit extreme for a simple PvP MMO.

Wins = ranks... would make things more lopsided as one side gathers more wins, making their team members more powerful and helping to insure even more wins. That's a bit much... but if GC restrictions were removed, then its mute and Jubs doesn't care.

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)

[CeveArthu]

and that would give veteran players an advantage over newcomers by simply having played more matched than them

this was the case in wolves den v1, where new players didnt have pvp skills but high rank players did, and where morale actually affected how much damage you dealt and how much damage reduction you had

it was absolutely dumb, good riddance to it

38 matches is pretty small sample size specially if you are solo-queing, sometimes you can get 7 wins in a row or 7 loses in a row so if those happens inside 38 matches it kinda screws statistics. Now do a 100-150 matches in a week and see what W/L ratio you have after that(should be near 30% or more).

Hmm if I look at CHAOS datacenter most of Adder are like this I doubt 30% is average for adder atleast not for the majority.
