What's the point of ranks?

[Abriael]

Someone forgot the "progressing through the story" part, not to mention other quests, that tend to be quite enjoyable, while not too numerous. The "there's nothing to do between 15 and 50" is a massively hyperbolic statement, and as such completely void of any meaning.

There may not be that incredible amount of activities to do at higher levels, but the fact that there are is just that, a fact. As such, anyone that denies it simply lies, for whatever reason he or she may have.
