I have slight issues with the activity ranks. I believe the coupling of the ranking system with the achiev pts was made so as to make sure that only active players got the rewards, which is good, but to me it feels as if they are a bit too taxing. I'll explain,
For starters, I am a very active player in both PVE and PVP. I spend most of the day playing this game (I have 3 chars on my first account who are 522 in pvp and 522+ in pve and 2 more chars being geared as we speak). Yet on this account I have only managed to collect some 2600+ achiev pts which means that I now need about 2400 more acheiv pts to get to the max point collection rank. So for me, all that I have done so far in the game only counts for half of what I need. There are a ton more players who are even more active but are still facing the same situation.
There are some reasons behind this that I can think off. First are the insta-lvl 90s we were gifted after the moltdown, which has left most of the questing achiev pts un-earned. Then is the fact that only unique achievements count towards the ranks, leaving most of the pve and pvp (and everything else) that you do with your alts completely useless towards your rank, which also means that we need to farm at least 5k achiev points on one char to get the 1.2 pts/day. And then there's the fact that most of the previous content from older expansions (and some even from the current expansion) is unavailable which leaves tons of achiev pts unobtainable.
In my thinking there might be a couple of solutions to this. First would be lowering the achiev pts required for the rank brackets. Second would be removing the unique achievements requirement from the ranks. I personally like the second solution the most since it makes since as well; If someone has completed raid achievs, daily quest achievs, profession achievs, pvp achievs on 2/3/4/5 different chars, shouldn't that be counted towards his "activity" and he/she get credit for it? Because it did take actual playtime and effort to get them. Keep in mind that I'm not talking about the account-wide achievs which would obviously make it too easy and so should only count once towards one's rank. You guys wanted to make the accounts themselves valuable in accordance with the effort put in them but this requirement for unique achievs on the other hand leaves an account with only 1 Char having completed TOT equal to an account which has 3 Chars having completed TOT.
I don't know how good are my suggestions, but I do know that a lot of insanely active players are facing this problem. The only solution left to them is to take their time away from actually pvping and/or pveing and start farming achiev pts, which apart from being pretty time consuming and not fun for a great many of us is also difficult due to the above stated reasons. Farming achiev pts for the sake of them has been a very niche player base activity, please don't force us to do it :(
ps: Sorry for quoting all 3 of you but this is a huge concern for many of us.
