This reset thing (together with the worthless potential Silver Marks in Burning Chests) is the main reason why my guildies are not buying the PvP Season Pass. @Devs: it’s still early in the season so you still have time to reconsider this design, and hopefully move a little bit towards that increasingly elusive win-win whereas your customers are spending more because they are happy. vulcan_salute @Kafka This is one of the main problems with pvp. We earned alliance ranks and should keep them. If people want to play more to get more gold marks, then that’s fine, but everyone shouldn’t be punished. It’s just too much pvp, all the time, all day, and having to earn ranks again with each new pvp season has forced many players to quit and will continue to be a problem if this issue is not resolved by the next pvp season. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/8-3-epic-burning-chests-update-patch-notes/86565)._
