At 30+ the reward for ranking up is a large rank chest. This is fine, however it’s value becomes progressively lower and lower until it’s negligible.
30-39 = 15k rank for 1 chest
40-49 = 45k rank for 1 chest
50-59 = 75k rank for 1 chest
60-69 = 150k rank for 1 chest
70-79 = 450k rank for 1 chest
80 = 750k rank for 1 chest
It should be changed so the same proportion of rank earned gives one chest. If 15k rank gives a chest for wolf it should give 3 chests for tiger, 5 chests for bear, etc. If this isn’t possible because of how it affects the economy (I don’t buy this because 40+ PvPers are a fraction of the community) at least make tiger give 2 chests, bear give 3 chests, etc. What I know for sure is if I got r71 and got a large rank chest I’d be bitter lol.
Anet likely didn’t want to remove the armor stats entirely because…well,
we’ve all seen what happens in games where there’s no disadvantage to taking your pants off.
Who cares you only get greens and mithril ore anyway.
