Ranks should be changed, or maybe have another method of how its calculated put in. It would give a more variaty in ranks, rather than having so many plain badges floating around.

FYI on GB1 in EIC there is 1 Basic General at 5,070,000rp, and only 4 Chief Colonels with the lowest at 2,592,000rp and 7400 members.
Good luck, and I've seen people go up 30 - 60k rp changes in a day as quite common.
I too think they should increase the numbers.

See no needs to change percentages, maybe just a little, but one thing can definitely improve rankings - if you got level above XX some types of NPCs stops counting to your rank points and all can be fine. Above level ~14 it's reasonable to leave only Boss Kristallon, Cubikon, Protegits, Uber NPCs and Pirates take part in rank points calculation. All other NPCs can be there just for statistics but give 0 points.
It specially related to streuners and lordakias - just imagine it will give 0 points after level 8 and how much better ranking can be.

Perhaps introducing more ranks for example Marshall, System Marshall, Lord Marshall at the top end allowing for more Generals & Colonels. A "STAR" system in place for Marshalls, generals, colonels & majors, 1 to 9 stars, spreading out the ranks more.

If the number of ranks was doubled the players of limited means (most of us) might feel we are getting somewhere. Myself & many other players are sick of seeing the rank points needed for the next level increase more than is reasonable (mainly because of NPC bashers using scripts/bot programs).

Scrap demotions, once a rank is achieved it should be kept !!!

Many players (such as myself) still kill BK's and LK's. Im level 15 and i love just sitting in 2-7 collecting Uri and credits. It doesnt change my rank points that much at all, it takes alot of BK's and even more LK's in order for me to see any drastic change. Mostly just a couple hundred a day if that.

im a general allready..so erm...what more is there......???

well.. i could lose my rank anytime soon..so i allways have the incentive to try and get it back..but i can see what you mean for lesser ranks...more of em to keep people interested...

i would also go along with the suggestion that certain "easy" npc's would not count after a certain rank..so that we see less 3 billion lordakia/struener killers with high ranks. or at least would force them into more open and so killable maps..but thats a different subject...

all in all though...wouldnt it all start to get a bit complicated..we allready have people moaning about fixing bugs and glitches before installing new things...

if they dealt with those that gained so much rank by killing lordakias and strueners 24 hours a day without a wee break..those that only killed them for 2 hours a day would stand more chance in the game..
