This. Silver and Gold players can go to hell. Even if bronze improve to higher rank (=learned), how long does it take when we'll see third party site calculating (read that: hogging) characters from lodestone or input from ACTs and start grouping by how fast they learn? This is the mob mentality, it doesn't matter what sort of rankings you have.
