So whose ready to remove ranks?

[Nektulos-Tuor]

Dear Lord, another thread from the Harbinger of change, Nekulotos.

Please folks lets this die, he just does this to get into post wars with people who actually understand what is going on. He'll argue every valid point you make. It is useless, refer to his many other threads for verification.

Titles are irrelevant to me as I never use anything but a particular one. Mounts are irrelevant because I only use chocobos, and I think the Commander's set is ugly, as are all the PvP sets. All of those are essentially cosmetic incentives outside of Esoterics and Poetics (both of which are generally gained more quickly through other content).

Contrary to your narrow-minded view, I do, in fact, care about PvP, and find the grind to be rather intimidating to the point where it takes the fun out of actually doing it. This is a progression oriented game, with most of that progression tied to gear--and there is no gear progression in PvP presently until you've done several hundred matches. That's silly.

Yes, the top gear should be for the dedicated PvPers, but that doesn't mean there can't also be lesser level 60 gear for people to acquire on the way up.

Agree 100% =)

Yes, like every other part of the game there is gear that you gain as you go. You also if you earn the higher level 60 gear you can use it to help you get closer to the next piece.

The current "PVP RANK SYSTEM" has no progression to it. So it punishes you until the end unlike the rest of the game.

If other parts of the game did this... you would have a DEAD GAME.

It wouldn't be pointless. It wouldn't have accuracy (most PvP gear is Crit/Det weighted), and Morale pushes the item level higher than the level sync. While you can collect other gear in PvE that won't have accuracy and cobble together a decent set, it's not as satisfying in terms of a reward structure. If there was starter gear, there'd be something to keep you going (and given how you end up swamped with Marks long before you're anywhere near getting your Rank 46+ stuff, it would certainly "feel" good to be able to spend it on something you can actually use).

Yep, that is my main issue. There is nothing to spend it on, and you just have it pooling. There is no Progression...
