So.. just to add some background, and perspective, I am almost a R71 NA player in sPvP. I am not the hardest-core of hardcore rank farmers, but I have the 200th most Solo Queue wins, and the 20th most Team Queue wins. Marvin sails over me in Team Queue wins by 2.2 times over.

Anyways.. After the December 10th patch came, and added lots of increased Rank Pts for PvPers, I decided it’d be a sweet time to pick up the pace. I was like, rank 68 at the time, or so.

Fast track to now, I am now nearly rank 71, and I’ve accumulated AT LEAST the equilivant of two levels at Rank 70 since December 10th.

That’s in the ballpark of 900,000 glory.

By my calculations, it’s going to be 1,091,500 glory to go from Rank1 to Rank80. Sweet. Wait, I just accomplished 82.5% of the ENTIRE Future PvP Ranking system since the Dec. 10th patch?!

Seriously, … 2 levels of my R70 bracket which I’ve managed to accomplish RECENTLY is the equilivant of 82.5% of the entire dang game.

Look, I understand these numbers if we weren’t getting 1500 freaking Rank pts. per Team Queue win.

Post Rank 80, having 20k rank points per level is fine. You’re just getting a some champion bags, scrolls, and a tome. That’s cool, bro.

But only 1,091,500 glory from a virgin account to a dragon? That’s less than 2 and half levels, for what difficulty I’m used to.

At least throw PvPers some retroactive some champ bags. Personally, I’ve already earned 4,221,500 glory since launch and would have leveled around 3.86 accounts to Dragon already.

Maybe remove the cap on ranks? Personally, I feel like my Rank 237 equilivant account (come April 15th) could use some sort of recognition?

I’d settle for an in-game mail.

You will only get a chest per rank to 81. You will not get more than (81 – current rank) chests.

I mispoke about the achievements, they have been rebalanced as well.
