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.
