the requirement option can be very negative for [i]new players[/i] and people who don't have enough money to advance ranks.
looking at the pvp community, i really fear the grinders will put their requirements to 11 so newbies will match with other newbies who can't get clears easily.
I don't think i have to explain everything how this can be negative, but look at the companion app's creator; it doesn't have a setting for that, and god bless
There is almost always going to be requirements for peoples partys. Those requirements are not always going to be fair. If someone doesn't want low-rank members in their FT, even if ranks don't matter for anything (they don't), then that's totally fair and up to the person making the group.
Do I agree with it? No. Do they have every right to make that a requirement? Absolutely they do.
If I wanna require you to be rank 10 with a 4 KD and a rainbow gjallarhorn, I can and should be able to.
If you don't like someones requirements, make your own post and requirements. It's really going to be that simple.
