So whose ready to remove ranks?

[Iagainsti]

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

It does have progression in the form of merit points to allocate to your pvp abilities, far more important than any gear you could buy with marks. Right now all pvp can be done without morale in i160s, so do the grind like we all did back in 2.2-now, and get your gear ready for ranked WD(Sorry you came late to the pvp party, but that doesn't excuse you from the same exp requirements that we went through).

Progression is earning gear on the way to high level rank you can use. You don't start "Progression" until you can do the zones that get you high level gear.

You earn each piece and wear it until you get your next pieces until you have a full set. That is "Progression."

There is no progression in PvP.

The "Merit Points" are useless unless you are not in a PvP zone, thus there is no progression. Progression is the rewards you show your friends and guildmates after beating a boss. (Aka like wearing a piece of gear.) and you get more and more as you play.
