So last night I finally hit loyalty rank 13, Marshal.
I've been playing for over 2 years, have millions and millions of lifetime war points, 40000ish lifetime kills, currently over 400 days consecutive logins, and most importantly have spent insane amounts of money on aur. I couldn't even give you a total, but easily 1500 to 2000 dollars since I started playing. How much more loyal can a merc get right?
Well, when I look at the requirements for loyalty rank 14, (over 2million points) I realise I will never reach it. It's impossible unless I wanted to drop thousands and thousands more on this game, and I can't even begin to imagine what the requirements for rank 15 will be, so ccp, I ask you reduce the requirements to make it something that's actually achievable. I'm not saying make it easy for anyone to reach, it should be quite an achievement, but as it stands right now it's bordering impossible.

As it stands all the loyalty rank stuff is pretty much impossible to get unless you spend Aur. You get a mere 0-5 points for a battle. 5 for login once per day. The exact math involved is iffy for battle rewards. You don't always get a point, even if you earn some WP and stay with the battle the entire time. I used to think it was 1 point for joining, 1 point for winning and 1 point per 500 wp but that doesn't always seem to pan out to be true.
Not to mention occasionally I log in and notice myself hundreds of points back of where I was due to some glitch. I even made a thread about it ages ago and no one with any authority commented.
The whole loyalty rank thing really sucks for new people because it's something like 2000 points to hit rank 1 and then either 3 or 4k more for rank 2. You have to be at least rank 2 before you can trade items. Think about it that's hundreds of days of login in, or some where around 600-700 battles of earning 5 wp each time, not something that's easy to do if you have few SP and are running around in starter fits.
From day one it's always been the only way to earn rank is to spend Arum, nothing else really matters. This character was made back in the beginning when all we had was ambush to play. Even with a few months break here and there I have 66 million SP. Yet I'm only sitting at rank 5, and been working on rank 6 for something like half a year or more. I've put thousands, if not millions of hours into this game over that 2 to 3 years dust has been out. Yet I'm not even half as loyal as the OP apparently because I've only spent maybe $100 on this game.

First, grats, you are the first R13 Marshal I've heard of.
I know exactly how you feel. I too feel slightly nauseous about the amount I've spent (choices, that's a different story). Some 1500-1600 euros during the course of 3,5 years. Chases are if I've gotten there first, I'd be the one writing your post with exact same words.
And while I do agree that the amounts are ridiculous, and yes the R14 let alone R15 might be unreachable for any sensible AUR-for-use purchase,
Why would we have to reach the final rank after all?
Wouldn't it be cool to always have something ahead of us, especially considering the fact that when one reaches any peak with no higher to go, it is a very dulling thing to have nothing more to go for.

A completely unachievable goal is even more dull, frankly.
It takes over 2 million points to reach level 14 from 13.
Fighting in a battle earns 1 loyalty rank point.
Winning that battle earns you 3.
500 WP in that battle earns you 1.
Therefore, if every single match bane sieg played from this point onwards was a win in which he scored 3000 WP (unlikely) it would take him 200,000 battles to reach the next rank.
200,000 battles. Two hundred thousand. If each of those was over very quickly, in 10 minutes (which is also highly unlikely as many matches take 20 or so), it would take 34,000 hours of playtime to reach the next rank.
That is completely preposterous. There is absolutely no way anybody could possibly meet those requirements through gameplay. Absolutely none.That's 1400 days (4 years) of sitting at the PS3 from downtime to downtime, never sleeping or eating except for 10 minute breaks through downtime.
Not only is it 1400 days of doing that, it's doing that with an absolutely extraordinary standard of performance.
THIS ISN'T EVEN THE HIGHEST RANK.
Such a system is completely ludicrous.
Of course, the system is actually designed to be exclusively dominated by those paying money, so let's have a look at that.
To get over 2 million LRP requires well over 4 million AUR.
This is equivalent to 20 elite packs, or $2000.
For what isn't even the highest rank.
Lol.

The cool down going from 9% to 10% on the warbarge is over 9 months long or 1.2 million components meaning that buying just that should get you to the next level.
Geez just get over it and spend like $5000 on your warbarge already.

you could bring a titan pilot to level 5 titan for all 4 races + all level 5 support skills across the board faster than you can go up a loyalty rank past 10 without spending hundreds of bucks of aur
and the years of subscription required would probably be cheaper too |

I am not sure I would go quite that far.
In 2013:
Quote:If you always remap according to the skill requirements and insert the best possible implants including the 3, 4 and 5 point intelligence and memory implants while learning cybernetics it will take exactly:
18 years, 145 days, 19 hours, 27 minutes and 6 seconds.
This is quite convenient as it also requires a total of 18 remaps...
If you are a bit short on ISK and only want to buy the 5 point implants for intelligence and memory you will have to spend 1 day, 21 hours, 11 minutes and 13 seconds more.
Many new skills have been added since then.

It is over 3 million LRP (corrected, thanks bane) to rank 14 from 13.
Fighting in a battle earns 1 loyalty rank point.
Winning that battle earns you 3.
500 WP in that battle earns you 1.
Assuming a rate of 4 battles per hour (which is actually quite swift) in which you win every single battle and score at minimum 1500 WP, you will earn 28 LRP per hour.
If you play 5 hours a day, every day of your life, at this frankly exemplary rate, you will earn a total of 140 LRP, + 5 for logging in. So 145 LRP per day.
This will take you almost 21,000 days.
It will take you almost 60 years of playing 5 hours a day and performing excellently to reach LR 14 from LR 13.
That is not even the maximum rank.

or you can go instantly to level 15 from zero for the low low price of like $20,000.
To do that in Eve would cost you MUCH more assuming you can even find someone that is selling one of those characters. Oh wait none of those characters exist because the game has not even been alive that long.
