I have over 2000 hours in this game and this season has been so bad. Using a ranking level just makes players feel worse when they don't have the time to grind. Now that the ranking is tied into commendations which is linked to non solo play, it's become such a drag. Plus, a lot of the time, even if you bust your -blam!- in a match, half of the time people don't even leave the commendations. Just a stupid idea to tie advancement to this.

As a person with rank 9 and 3,605 commendation score, I agree that commendations should not be tied to guardian ranks. With that said, you will have to stop being a solo player if you actually want to climb these ranks. I say this while being aware that at some point I will have to solo all of Spire of the Watcher to reach rank 11.
