About the current "Down the rabbit hole" rank event in NA and JP server, if you guys notice, there has been a sudden spike in rank score. Everyone just get maximum amount of kills like it's nothing. And the average score for the player base is super high.

For example, in Korea server, despite the use of airborne fairy, only 3 people hit over 180k while there are 20 people with over 180k score in NA. Also to get to top 100 in Korea, you need 174k score. While with that same score in NA, you won't even be in top 1%.
Yuuchi (who is the sempai of many people here) got rank 17 in AW with 175k score, that score will only be top 2% in NA.

And not just for top 100, the % rank for NA is also much tougher, 169k score is barely in top 5%, while that was enough for top 3% in Korea.

Is it because NA players, despite not having fairies, are much better at ranking than other servers?

NO, it's because there is a step-by-step guide made by a guy with IGN Ceia detailing how to get to top 100. It tells you how to build your team, what to do in each turn, how to fight each boss. It's super ridiculous and has totally messed up this rank event for NA.

The current rank event has turned into the RNG fuck fes because everyone can get the same amount of kills (it's way too easy and simple with guide), so now the top 100 just have to be extremely lucky.

Rank mode was supposed to be a competitive mode where the best players earn their spot in the top % rank. If you have strong team but you are dumb and don't know what to do, you will still end up in lower ranks.

This fame sucker of a guide has entirely eliminated the skill and intelligence elements of this serious competitive mode and dumb it down to just "luck".

Tips for rank are fine: you should use MGs, you should try to kill as many as possible, 10 echelons help, etc. However, a baby guide to rank is stupidity in its pure form with the intention to sabotage the game and the petty attempt to become famous of the guide writer.

Therefore, I will personally ban any Rank Guide from this group.
