I dont like it...I used to like being a platinum member now it goes back to ruby?
This only benefits those with 10000+ post counts for the rest of us its just more posting to get back to platinum...

Looks ugly, quite pointless doing this, most people liked having platinum but wan't something higher to reach (a rank aboce platinum) but doing this just makes it feel like we've gone backwards in the ranks just like you stated.
well its a good job you cant get it up easily now ;)
it will give us plenty of time to max it so then they can introduce more :P
i agree
why didn't you just change ruby member with sapphire, and remove ruby? :D
The only problem I have is that they must of changed the features you get for ranking up although thinking over it now, was there really a need to change the ranks? If anything something above Platinum which is at like 20,000 posts with a snazzy name that ISN'T to do with a precious material would of been cool. Something made up and Habbox like :P
Has platinum gone!?
I like sapphire but I had ruby... I don't want to go back to ruby once i'm done with sapphire! :'(
I just realized that I haven't got any :D.
On another subject, is the Bug Tracker meant to disappear when you leave the Pixel Artists group? I imagine it might be a problem with the Emerald UserGroup...
I like sapphire but ruby again - bleurgh
I agree with --ss-- even thought his vip :P its like we gone back in ranking not foward.
Its to much to get to platinum and most people who have that many posts are vip so they dont even get the rankings.
I dont like how, i used the have 300 pm space as ruby, but now i can only have 250 :S
It makes it pointless...
i just hate how my storage box has declined by 50 :'(
I really like Saphire, but ive got another 6 months left of VIP, so I won't be seeing it under my name for a while :(
theyre making this like runescape tbh.
you now need 13 mil xp for 99 (i mean 20000 posts for platinum)
Hmmm, there's no way you could edit the usergroups to keep it realistic, without puting some stones forward than others, which kinda destroys the whole "precious stone/materials" theme :P Only way to really do it would be to either get rid of either Sapphire, Ruby or Emerald to free up space so members can be where they were (afterall, the norm for ranking changes is that they either stay put or go up a tiny bit, not backwards) and to make it realistic when it comes to adding stars. The other option would be to heavily edit anything pre-sapphire so that new members have more usergroups to go through while us oldies can still be where we were, although platinum is the only material that makes sense, unless someone with a creative mind comes up with a new usergroup to come after platinum which isn't a material, something to do with power, legendary status etc (obviously not to say you have lots of power etc :P)
The gya thing is having to delete 30 of my PM messages to have space :l
I think ruby should come before Sapphire, everyone hates ruby!
20k posts? ***!! lower the post count needed.
Obviously make a legendary status that only users who have been registered on the forum since 04/05 and have over 10k posts can only enter. :).
I liked my Platinum :(
I have made a shocking discovery.
Ruby is more precious than emerald, so why is Emerald ranked higher?
Replace Ruby with Sapphire, problem solved :D Now all they need to do is sort out Platinum :/
Feels like you've gone down ranks now doesn't it? lol
Whatever happens, I would leave if I had to stick with Ruby for 10,000 posts, seriously. :P
I don't have a problem with the ranking system being changed but what really confused me is I'm 5 star ruby, I should be 3 star because I'm only like 2k after 5k posts? Am I going to be stuck 5 star ruby for another 2400 or so posts? o.O
People asked for more ranks and theres more ranks.
Now they want less ranks.... ahhh.
I suppose the amount of posts per star could be lowered.... because its pretty odd that it would take soo many just to get another ruby star...
I just hope this doesnt make lots of people want to be "post friendly" (spamming) all the time.
I think get rid of it, if loads of people hate it that much. I don't even like it, and I can't remember if I ever had that! :P
The idea behind this rating update seems to be "post, because YOU enjoy it," judging by the way the update thread says "This will keep you occupied" etc etc. It was fine before hand, it just needed something to expand it a little, not alot like it seems to of done, especially when it's effected member features like avatars and PMs. Updates are meant to not effect members in that way, they're either meant to keep members where they are or upgrade them a little. Going backwards wasn't what people had in mind :P
I dont care, it only hxf
40,000 posts for 5 star Platinum? I hope thats a joke...
