Can't say: played intensively for 1 year and a half ( since the beginning to the Rouge Wedding :p ) bought 2 merc packs, and like 40k arum once.
Now I'm rank 8 and 1/2, so yeah, it could be pretty hard (if not impossible) to get rank 4 in 2 weeks without any aur item.

I believe Kane Spero confirmed that getting loyalty rank 4, from 0, costs roughly $20 worth of AUR. I personally don't think that is asking for much, but to a new player that is a high investment for a game you just downloaded two days ago.
Well, if that's the case, it may be way too high reward for buying aur and way too low for actually playing the game. I used to play like 3-4 hours day!

It's not that AUR is a higher reward, it is just faster. 2 AUR = 1 loyalty 1 match = 2 loyalty 1 victory = +2 loyalty 500 WPs = 1 loyalty 1 daily login = 5 loyalty Logging in daily, actively participating in matches, and earning victories does earn you loyalty experience... but no where near as quickly as just paying $20.
Well, I meant, compared to gameplay is either too high the "value" of aur or too low the value of actually playing the game...Triple value would be better imo.

Depends on how quickly you earned that $20, if you're working at wal-mart it's actually faster to just play the game  Back on topic more I do think added vectors for tracking activity would be a good thing thus enabling really active players to earn loyalty ranks faster. It allows them to become a small side goal to work on rather than this thing that sort of just "is" the way they are now. At some level "buying" a rank will always be faster than earning one through play alone because it only takes you moments to click through a PSN transaction no matter how much you are spending. As such I think our primary focus should not be on "what is AUR vs other stuff in earnings" but more directly tackling the baseline problem by asking "what can we do to make earning Loyalty Ranks through activity alone more accessible and rewarding"On that note I will shamelessly solicit more feedback and input on my suggestions of an achievements system and/or adding some loyalty rank xp rewards to daily missions 
Wouldn't it be great if every week people are encouraged to play? For example, the first 15 matches: 1 loyalty each. The other 30 matches 2 loyalty each. the next 60 matches 3 loyalty each etc. This way you actually reward both the hardcore players and the paying crowd.
After all, it would be more or less the same concept as Skill progression: if you are an hardcore player, you don't need to buy boosters etc. If you are a casual and want to stay up-to-date you might want to buy some aur items, boosters etc
