I noticed the new ranks, and I don't get why we went through the process by doing ALL of this change... for something unimpressive. The old ones were cool, with weapons and texture, but these are just lines and black text with a generic white background, with no weapons. Why'd this change?
Same reason they took post count off a while ago (they updated somethings or something and it got put back on but they've never taken it back off), to make rank seem less important in the grand scheme of things.
