[Shogun]

i don´t think so.

giving every vehicle to everybody and selling every gun to everybody totally rendered battleranks useless.

the game would be much more interesting, if people could specialise but were limited by their battlerank. like it was in ps1. but that really cool concept was incompatible to a cash shop.

people complained about the one man armies in late planetside 1, but ps2 sports one man armies right from the beginning.
i would at least give br color patterns to the players, so there is something to be proud of and show your achievements, but that would decrease the interest in camo soe is selling for money, so this will not happen.

br is just a number, nothing more these days. thanks to cash shop and e-sports, where all chars need to be equally strong.
