Ranks useless now..... drop them
« on: October 26, 2006, 08:23:25 AM »
Well i have to say with the new setup Rankings have becoime meaningless.  Milkrunners rule the EW and MW arenas.  With 2-4 people from each side online during the daytime all they do is hit strat unopposed all day. Is that what we want a community of milkrunners?

In fact, there are those who think that ranks actually caused harm.

Im a strat milkrunner. This was caused by the lack of time and patience to learn AvA skills to make a name for myself as a fighter. Also because I simply like bombing things more. Bigger explosions and more destruction my be the cause of that.

My rank was good when I did this. It effected furball pilots in no way. Before or after the change.

Uh, bear.... rank has ALWAYS been meaningless.. the only time it was worthwhile to fly for rank was back when HTC was giving money to the top 15 for 3 months or so. That was what... 2003? :lol  Last time I bothered with that crap.
