The advent of simming (+macroing, botting, etc. etc.) ended this. I agree that achieving rank 50+ is not special in 2022, but I would argue it never was special.
Rank would be special, a meaningful achievement, if it were a reflection of a player's contributions to the PR2 community, their skill & accomplishments, and their dedication to PR2. But it's not. Rank only shows one thing: the amount of time you left your computer on with PR2 idly chugging away at your sim/macro/bot.
Well said, bro! Couldn't have said it better!
