Iād rather see ranking from the start with caps (maybe rank 7 is the cap until BWL, which locks people out of the high-end gear) so you can actually make rank progress while leveling. PvP trinkets are pretty big and you wonāt have them for a long time with this timeline.
Agreed, they pretty much did what I expected with it, Iāll still play it.
I ranked at the start in the original Vanilla system, although only to R9.
People would have lost it if the system was how it was originally was put in in 2005. Some already went nuts personally attacking people like myself who ranked in Classic 2019 (out of some odd jealousy as I see it, because being nasty like that doesnāt come from nowhere), which was a lot easier.
