I just hit Loyalty Rank 8 today and as of right now it says I need 104,835 points to hit Loyalty Rank 9. To get that many points without purchasing Aurum will require me to play roughly over 25,000 matches. If I play 10 matches a day everyday it will take me about 6 years to achieve this.

Good job thinking it through CCP.

Started at just barely rank 8 when LOLoyalty ranks were released... 3 months to gain (almost) 10k points... at that rate, total of about 31 months to get to rank 9, so over 2 and a half years of playing at least 2-3 hour a day every day.

Totally an attainable goal Lol

Yep, that's why we need a proper ranking system, and a renaming of these "fanboy" loyalty ranks.

EDIT: to clarify, these PROPER ranks (based upon performance and using the current loyalty rank titles) need not grant any bonus whatsoever.

EDIT 2: an ingame rank should reflect how experienced a player is, not how fat his wallet is. Loyalty ranks are like bragging rights, proper ranks (like all other games) would let players know what kind of competition they are facing.

I'd rather CCP replaces them with nifty rank symbols next to names, maybe even on the leaderboard. It's just too much in the killfeed atm I would rather the rank be based on kills+WP alone.

Surely it should be purely for battle performance, no? Loyalty ranks should all be renamed accordingly, and we should get a proper separate ranking system based on performance alone. As I keep finding myself saying.... "whatever though". Skills - https://www.facebook.com/notes/flint-beastgood-iii/list-of-trained-skills/416505058477164

Good job thinking it through CCP. Actually: Each day will give you 10 matches X 2 = 20 + 5 X 2 = 10 for winning 50% of the battles + 5 for logging in +1 for every 500 WP you get a loyalty rank assuming a below-average 500 points a match =36/day It would only take you 2,912 days, or 7.98 years, if you do pretty well every battle then we can shorten this number to 2,759 days or *7.56 years* assuming 1,500 WP a match. If you squad up and win 80% of the time and average 2500WP a match due to being cool, we can say you're going to get there in 6.53 years! lol, don't forget this feature was requested by the community as they said... although when is anyone's guess.
