In all honesty that's how I had this thing figured, Aidan. Or at least hoped it would be that way, point being people should strive to remain at their ranks and not favor being demoted to get it cheaper. Even though they would still get the BG's cheaper as opposed to staying at a Don rank, it would at least cost significantly more because with each rank the upgrade would cost more.
But as it stands right now, I feel it's a punishment to the men and women who chose to stay at their ranks, more so when the old BG system is gone. Because now their BG's will be a lot weaker, and easier for even the shitty guns to kill regardless of the owners rank, when most guns that aren't trained enough would normally wound or fail Don bg's especially at full HP. It's just a waste for high ranks to have to wait, it should be the people who chose "cheaper" BG's that should be waiting and upgrading with each rank, and as suggested by Aidan, people who stay at Don or in the case of Godfather's an option to upgrade/buy BG's from each tier should been available, rather than treating everyone the same regardless of rank, favor those who respect their ranks rather than those who favor the cheaper way.
And that's really how I thought it would be when I saw it saying "as you rank up". But that's just my opinion on the new system, maybe something to consider before Jan 13th when we're no longer able to buy BG's at full HP. |
