What is with the elitism around S ranks?

[Yusaku_Kudou]

I happened to have had a C and a B rank on me (twin sabers with high percents and grinds) during Bruce's Dungeon earlier and I hear things like "I only use S ranks. Nothing lower." S ranks aren't even always better to begin with. I say, never leave out a good pair of lower rank weapons. They're cheaper as well.

Some people lack in intelligence. It doesn't matter what question you have in life. The answer will always be some variation on that. What color is the sky you ask? I'll have you know, that "blue" is sanskrit for "your ignorance challenges the very foundations of the universe."

I know why I use mainly s-ranks: style. In this game there are those that go for style over substance, grinded s-ranks will usually be superior, ( usually but not always, some kubara can grind better in the end) but really I only use s-ranks for the show, thats just how I play, everyone has their reasons for what they do. Not trying to be offensive but I seem to find questions as to why people are elitist pointless. People are what they are, there isn't always a reason.

Some people take games a bit too seriously.



the internets and online gaming is serious business.

Awesome s-ranks make my e-penor bigger.

Yeah, but some of these people who say this have S ranks with %s in the teens.

I happen to like my weapons that I worked so hard to obtain. Though I'm not the type of person that will say I'm better than you since my weapons are better, or something equally stupid.

Right. Well, I just use s ranks because they look pretty and stuff, but I'd never hate on someone for not having s ranks. Heh, I probably wouldn't even notice!

They're prettier, at least for the most part. What else do you need?

I dunno, it's not hard to get 30% or better S-ranks now. Low-rank high elemental weps aren't the secret superpower they used to be... on the other hand I think it's pretty awesome if someone's ripping it up with a powerful Gigush or those automatic-50-percent Twin Bulbs.
