What's the point of ranks?

[Benediction]

I read a comment elsewhere on the forums that there's really nothing different to do between rank 15 and rank 50. That there's not much to the endgame. Are these things true? If so, what's the point of having a system of ranks besides an illusion of actually doing something meaningful?

This person has a point, and lol at all of you people not seeing it. There is nothing to do. There is no difference between 15 to 50. The only difference is the time you spent wasted on leveling maybe 1 or 2 more classes to 50. There's the illusion of "lolendgame" but really... those armor suck ass. The only thing that's worth it for me, from my point of view is the Dodore Doublet since I like Blacksmith. Even then, this piece of armor will be outdated by new armor when the level cap is raised.

Those of you that like to play through stories and quests might be good, but they are few and far between. A cutscene every 5 ranks and a fight about every 10 or 15? And sidequests that offer nothing interesting but a page or two of some bullshit that won't matter in the end.

As pointed out by the OP, there really is no content in this game at the moment and really, the only thing to do is level up to 50. B. O. R. I. N. G.

SE needs to step up their game if they want this MMO to be at least competitive when it enters the market, come PS3 release. It's already had bad reviews, which would only hinder its already waning existence into obscurity.
