Making TK/Alche/Smith ranking points decay

[azurerogue]

Alchemist ranking is indeed quite easy if you're in a dedicated brewing build (if you're not, why are you trying to get on the ranker board?).??I don't think any decay is necessary.??There's not even a real market for ranked forged weapons or ranked potions.??Sure, guilds will brew for themselves....but not many people actually go out and buy condensed whites, even ranked ones.??Fish just make it so there's no real demand for them - and ranked forged weapons just aren't popular enough on this server for it to be worth going for specifically (in my opinion).??Ranker TKs are pretty cool, but ranking a TK here isn't even really that hard.??Could probably be done fairly quickly by someone with enough determination.??

I don't remember the low end of alchemist ranker boards right now, but I'd imagine that if a brew-build alchemist / creator got some friends together and farmed up some starsands for a few hours they could get on the boards.??

EDIT: The server just had, what, it's 3rd birthday? The alchemist ranks, then, have gone up about 15,000 per year. At the low end, it's gone up about 3,333 per year. So, how old will heRO likely be when it takes 1,000,000 points to become a ranker? About 300 years old. If RO is still this popular in 300 years (and Pandora's line of Server Hosting robots are still functioning) well...let's discuss it then, yes? Or, rather, let future generations deal with problem (much like the real world, I'm suggesting we push this problem off and let the future inhabitants of the "world" deal with it).
