You know. A point. They have moved completion of legendary lost sectors etc off of rank 7 requirements to rank 8. what that tells me is that they have a lot of content that people just aren't doing. I am willing to bed that the vast majority of players started at rank 6, are still at rank 6, and don't particularly give a -blam!- about rank. Most people I know when they see someone at rank 7 or 8, it isn't respect or admiration they feel. Everyone I know who sees anything above 6 on someone's guardian rank mocks them and calls them a loser. It's not a badge of honor, it's a scarlet letter. So here's the deal, if people say "we aren't interested in doing this stupid bullshit to rank up, we just want to play the game and have fun" and bungie just responds "well this is the game now, it's about ranking up, not fun" people will ultimately say "okay, then we don't want to play your game", thats a bad place to be in. Period. If bungie is going to respond "well we don't care, you're clearly not our target demographic" then let them put their money where their mouth is and issue refunds to people who don't want to play this anymore. "but so many people hate this content that if we refund them all we'll go bankrupt!" well, maybe there's a message there you should listen to.
