The rank10 stuff i even don't care about, but that r13 is insanity.

RAID LOGGING IS EZ
at least you get to sleep, do you know the fear of waiting for the rank reset, praying that you make rank.only getting 99% or worse losing rank after pushing yourself all week, hardly sleeping while Chinese mofos are online 24/7?

BUT HEY, at least it is shiny
