Ranked is only for Diamond+ level players now

[Eisi]

From what I gather from friends, Gold and lower has been popping on Light in the evenings in the past week. May vary between DCs I guess, but I'm actually surprised because it's not like we are the most active pvp DC of all.

Your friends are right, Gold has been popping, I have been playing with Gold and Diamond players both this week! Not coincidentally the PvP Revival Community has started an effort to notify people whenever 10+ players are available for play, which has a cascading effect that radiates out to players outside the community because as soon as a single match pops, the expected queuetime is drastically reduced, leading to more players queueing up in turn because they don't get shown the abysmal 30+ minutes.

I like this and I appreciate community efforts to help with ranked participation, it's actually very humbling and it shows that things can be done playerside. However: We shouldn't have to do this.

So perhaps it's just me being dense, or perhaps it's their new system being obscure as well, but where exactly are players supposed to get those diamond+ tokens for the glowy hellhound gear? And what vendors do sell those?

The new tokens are obtained after season end by a Miqote NPC at the Wolves Den Pier. Look to the ship, to the right of its' entrance is the NPC with a pinboard next to him.

It will be most likely distributed when checking for your Tier Reward at the NPC. Grab it before the end of the next season i.e. before patch 6.5.

The 6.4 patch notes list that the vendor will become available at a later date aka begin of Season 8 / end of Season 7.

So the same NPC where we can get the season/placement rewards?

So when I heard the new Ranked currency is Diamond+ I inmediately sighed because I knew it will just discourage anyone from trying to improve because Diamond sounds and potentially is a distant goalpost to reach - "Why bother".

Where is that stated that the new currency will only be for ranks Diamond and above? At least it isn't in the patch notes for 6.4.
