    I guess I'm just not that picky. I only make like 100-200k AP a day, and I'm more than happy with that, and super content with how well I did for that day.

    Edit: I've VIP as well, and I make way less than everyone here complains about getting. FYI.

    with out the seed of transformation most likely being a high rank just gives a red target up your head so now the seed will probably never make it in game, so its either you have to suck it up and pvp more (double the usual kills) to coupe up or you lay lo. up to you. or you can qq here in the forums 24/7 to get it reduced. good luck.

    Divide the AP loss that the guy stated by 2, and it will be fair. VIP shouldn't lose twice the AP of a normal person, and should gain 3 times the AP of a normal person. Which means AP gain is nerfed by 1/3 while loss is doubled.

    Now, wait patiently for it to be fixed.

    First of all, ranks don't mean anything in my perspectives. We can all see that high ranked players are all rangers/sorcs who stays in the middle of a zerg 24/7.

    Secondly, I'll have to disagree with the VIP statement. "IF" ranking did mean something, then the high ranked players would be the ones with VIP and not the players that are actually skilled. I think everyone should gain and lose the same amount of AP if you were going to assess PVP ranks based on skills alone.

    Those rates were implemented on last year december. Lots of people QQ about it but they 'fixed' it but I don't know if they really did. I don't know seems like the thread about it was completely ignored. :(

    This is one of the reason why I surrendered and just used all my AP :3 being a commander is really tough ur more likely an apple of the eye :3 and losing 95k AP is way to much while ur gaining AP like crap :3
    just saying :p

    High ranks doesn't bring anything just like this btw.. for what do you want to be commander? governor ? or i dunno what ? you can't transform what means the ranks are useless :p so yeah, there are some players like on siel (elyos side) they made AP like hell to get governor/commander and now, since they got the rank they wish, magic, never seen them make even 1 ap + or 1 ap - ... It's just for the show :p

    But i agree with the fact dranzell said that VIP lose AND gain more AP than normal players (shouldn't be like this).

    Perfect:

    Premium:
    Gain x 1.5
    Loss / 1.5

    VIP:
    Gain x 2
    Loss / 2

    OP is right, farming AP isn't so easy especially when almost all officers and high ranks run like little chickens - sacrificing their low ranked comrades and making it impossible for us to gain any AP. In addition to the unbelieveable amount of zerg and no solo acting.
    Maybe lowering the amount of lost AP will give some motivation for the high ranks to finally PvP and not hide behind walls and stand in high points where they really get hit.

    Edit : Also true down there redcox, shouldn't be lowered TOO much, but it might encourage officers to PvP more - thus other players earning more AP.

    I haven't read every post on this thread but all I can say is that this is the only way to keep balance on the ranking.

    There would be no point if every player just gained, gained, gained gained and never lost AP, whoever got up there first would always stay on the top of the ranking.

    Death and Loss of AP is the only guarantee that the ranks below will be able to catch up.

    QQ im general with my ranger and keep dying xD i don't care if i die at least i got some nice video records showing 1 vs 3-4 losing AP is easy, gaining them is even easyer -.-

    funny thing on this, i die all the time in zerg vs zergs (temple of scale) with my ranger, -_-" yep shadowburst ftl .. =/ solo in belu/gelk/reshanta rox way more, there you can practice and show the skill you got (or not >.< )

    But yeah, lets say 80% (if not more) are doing their AP's in inggison in front of asmo fort.. =/ thats what a lot of players call "PvP" =/ (i never said i wasn't there ;) its only the best way to get the AP back you lost in belu/gelk/resh ^^

    Right, I still lose 43k AP/death, even though my VIP expired. That's just insane? D:

    I say reduce the loss of AP a little bit and bring back the rank system based on kills (maybe, maybe not)... so to get from star 1 to star 2 you must go from 1000 to 700 and so on... it ll be more fun, challengin and it might help to create a less zerging enviroment.
