Removing Ranks for newer gear.

[Nektulos-Tuor]

You can use it when you earn rank 50. The point of the set is to be the BiS for level 60 arena content (which is coming out in 3.2), as it has done for every other PvP set. It exists to give you that edge in the arena because you earned experience via ranking. Kthx.



So this is about glamor fodder? Lol. Why should you be allowed to have something for glamor if you have no interest in participating in the content? The PvP armor was added to be used by PvPers for PvP content.



But it already is.

You come into the game. Brand new level 1 with no experience.
You come into PvP. Brand new rank 0 with no experience.

You do grind some mobs, do some quests, run some dungeons. Sure you die sometimes, but you get up and try again, you get gil and experience and you level up.
You grind some PvP, do some Frontlines, do some Wolves' Den. Sure, you die sometimes, but you get up and try again, win or lose, you gain experience and rank up.

You finally hit it, level cap, level 60. You can now buy armor and weapons with Tomes that you couldn't wear before this level.
You finally hit it, rank cap, ran 50. You can now wear armor and weapons that you bought with Marks that you couldn't wear before this rank.



This is probably the most ironic thing you said 'cause you definitely didn't read all of my first post, lol.

If I didn't PvP at all I wouldn't have ANY of the gear in the first place.

Except, if I didn't PvP at all I wouldn't have ANY of the gear in the first place. Thus your subject matter fails completely.

If I didn't grind out items for a relic, I wouldn't have a relic.
If I didn't run Alex Savage I wouldn't have the i210 gear I have now.

Bolding and increasing the font size doesn't make your point valid at all. At this point I am just repeating myself, so I'm going to say this in a way I hope you understand.

Anyone can earn Wolf Marks, you just have to be present in a Wolves' Den or Frontlines match, but by doing the content again and again you gain experience. Not just EXP experience, but playstyle experience. If you have not earned enough of that playstyle experience, then you do not deserve the rewards given to the end game players of said content. This applies to both PvP and PvE.

With that, I am done with this thread, good luck with whatever you do. You'll need it.
