I think I’m a quite mediocre player, not too good, not too bad. And I certainly won’t fill the higher ranks of a shooter or any other game. Simply because I don’t have the time that it would take to get there. But I would like to see immediately the experience of my fellow and opponent players. And if they feel the need to make fun of my medium rank, so be it. Its just a game and its not about flower picking. This little “mine is longer thing” would add to the fun. As long as no one gets real obsessed with his rank. But imagine this; your team consists of mostly mediocre ranks and the oponents are very high in ranks. The first emotion will probably be, OH SH**, but if you are going to win with your team, it would make the victory much sweater. I mean you showed it to them that their ranks doesn’t mean a thing when you are just determined enough to beat the crap out of them. And it will be a shame to them to loose against such a low level crew. It would at to the joy of winning. It can also work this way.
And I hate to see what I’ve achieved in a mission, just to see how the XP is taken away from me again
Anyways, I never experienced this bragging rights stuff. But again, its a ruff game and we are all grown “boys” I suppose. Now you don’t know against who you are playing. Would it be shown, you could immediately adapt to that.
