Suggestion: Have Addons/Offerings/Items above 'Rare' be disabled between ranks 20-15.

Now, why, I hear you ask?

Well, I think it's not the best first impressions to a new player when they get obliterated by something like an Iri-King & "Obedience" Carter's Notes wielding Doc who also burned an Ebony Mori or similar. (I only used that example 'cause I've seen it a lot)

It would probably be a nightmare to implement, but at the same time it'd make the lower ranks a better experience for new players. At least I'd hope.

    TIL caring about newer players is stupid.

    Must of felt so good coming with this “amazing idea”. Except that rank 1’s invade lower rank matches all the time. It’d actually make it worse, they wouldn’t be able to defend themselves. THIS NEVER CROSSED YOUR MIND!?

    Would you care to elaborate, as it stands that statement is a little on the vague side. Also, you don't have to be a smartass.

    The matchmaking is broken. Imagine a lvl 18 noob killer with just basic addons vs a swf group, where 3 of them have full access to ultra-rare items. you think that will help the newbie killer?

    But even without swf, having rank differences occur quite regular. Your idea would put one fraction at a (greater than now) disadvantage right from the start.

    And there we go, an actual response. Thank you.
