Mercenary rank leveling too slow?

[Artaletta]

I've just noticed that the Mercenary rank grows like I'm leveling combat rank on Expert/Dangerous. I killed like ~150npc (or even more) and still got only 1/4 of Defenseless. Rly? On alpha (1st phase btw) I was able to get the next rank in ~20 (kinda) kills.

I've noticed this too, I'd have thought a few war zones would have cleared the first rank quickly, but it seems to crawl

Sounds like FDev decided it was ranking too fast - frankly it probably was - you're posting in almost exactly 24 hours after release ( and for at least 2 hours the servers where up and down crashing making the game unplayable ) that you haven't been able to go up a rank - sounds like working as intended to me.

For the very first rank? Seems OTT. This stuff is exponential usually.

Compared to the old ranks, it does climb very slowly. Were there 9 ranks in alpha as well?

Me and a friend were doing some on foot CZ together. He is now half on his was to 2rd rank were i am still stuck on the half way to the 1st one after 10 Zones. And we always got nearly similar credits out of the zone.
