It's an interesting concept, to be sure. The main difficulty, from what I see, will be tracking the large number of users, the active ones especially, to see if they've met the prerequisites of a certain rank. And, like Kin said, the byte thing would definitely be a difficult one to reach. I've only had one character reach 100K bytes, and most of them barely get by at 20K+ bytes. While it does offer incentive, at the same time, it would also discourage users from trying to do much else. Then you've got some users who choose to stay away from canon clans, so for them, rank 3 could potentially be impossible for them to reach because they wish to not go for a canon clan and go for an original concept. Odds are, they'd just create the characters, meet the requirement, then probably never use them. There's a lot of different things that have to be accounted for, especially in terms of user behavior. If we do decide to accept it, there will definitely have to be some different changes to help make the process for each rank still be challenging, but also more streamlined and efficient.
