Personal perspective on Ranking.
Except for the value of hood placement having an influence on being attacked in PvP, Rank is meaningless.
Yet people go batshit crazy chasing it, have since the start of the game.Forum vets will remember the major explosion when INNO rebalanced Ranking.
The folk who are gonna drop Diamonds chasing Rank already are.doing so in other ways.
An Achievement might,make INNO a bit of cash, but I'm pretty sure the logic of spending money to get an Acheivement might be a luttle too tenuous for most people to go down that path.
Especially since INNO currently gets the huge benefits of folk chasing Ranking for free now.
But then again, who knows? That last part, that the achievement is based on how fast you move up versus your peers is just the sort of silly meaningless thing that might capture some folks imagination.
Of course since Acheivements have a hard cap, you could only win a few of them. But still?
Hmmm. You know this idea seems so ridiculous on the face of it, but it might actually work.
