That's the problem here...it now takes 5 times the amount of effort as it did before to rank up, and all of that effort is spent in boring ass BGs. They need to take the damned CP bonuses out of BGs, period. That'd bring real PVP back and keep the players who want open world PVP in the game. If BGs are designed to allow people to gain ranks in the system, it's doing a PISS POOR job. Christ...it used to take 5,000 CPs to go from rank 6 to 7, and now it takes 200,000. I don't think the system is working.

The problem with the PVP system is that it's based on farming players(just like farming npcs) instead of skill.Anyone can go queue up for any of the BG's and get a suitable rank, it just takes time.I also believe the BG's were designed more for giving players another route to get better items, because the rewards are based on reputation instead of pvp rank.
On another note, the whole game at 60 pisses me off.59 levels of easy grinding and questing, to hit a shitload of timesinks at 60.If I wanted to spend 8 hours raiding a single instance I'd have stayed with EverQuest.Strath/Scholo/UBRS/LBRS are fine, but I think they made a mistake
when they added MC and the kinds of items you get from raiding there.The gap between MC geared players and casual is getting ridiculous now.At one time keeping both types of players closer together was a concern(hi rested exp bonus) but I guess not anymore.
