Dear Developers of Planetside 2,

I didn't wish to create a thread to complain about this subject because I knew you guys were working on an outfit update which in my mind would give us more ranks including the new recruitment feature.

At the moment I run an outfit on Connery called [AFX] AfTeRsHoX for the TR, a good community of well over 500+ players.

As an outfit leader with over 500+ players having only 5 ranks to edit with as a maximum is very difficult to work with.

Following Ranks that you gain when you create an outfit are as followed:

Leader - The Leader Title is Locked meaning its meant for a few amount of people 1-10 people.

So basically 4 Titles is all I can really edit and give to other players...

Officer

Member

Private

Recruit

With over 500 plus members I cannot give people a chance to improve themselves with only 4 ranks in game... instead I had to give them ranks on our website and on our TeamSpeak which doesn't really show their efforts in game because I cannot add the rank in game because I have over 10 Ranks on our website.

With this new outfit feature it has caused me more work and more pain as a leader because members who wish to join now gain the "recruit" title and they are offline when I accepted them into the outfit.

Now I have to write their names down and look at that list of names who joined via in-game outfit app to greet them into [AFX] and help them understand how to dive deeper into our community.

Its turned into a job when all I really am asking for is simply 10 more ranks or 20 or just let us add as many ranks as we need... It shouldn't take long to add more ranks except for thinking of the image for each new rank needed.

From my point of view, this is a very small feature that should have been implemented along time ago. I have called SOE many time to voice my complaints about this game’s features that would help many outfit leaders dramatically. SOE’s phone support told me to post a forum topic here to shed some light on this topic.

Thank you and I hope I can get a response.
