Experience Upload Rank count-adjustment suggestions

[IronBladeClan]

I know this is super minor since a lot of people don't customize their rank or care about the rank they display as opposed to the icon itself, but I was just looking at rank customization and thought the Upload/Dragon rank requirements were a little high, so I have two suggestions:

1. Not sure if uploading to the AI Icons section already doesn't count toward upload count for the purpose of upload rank, but maybe don't make it count, since it's easy to make tons of AI icons
2. I don't know who exactly the most prolific uploaders are, but e.g. by my quick estimates even a goat like General Frank only has a little under 450, and Vinz has a little under 200, making level 5 pretty far out of reach, it seems. Maybe adjust the ranks to better reflect the distribution of uploads per person who has uploaded. The highest one could still be high, like e.g., 450 or 500, so that everyone still has something they can strive for, but maybe others can be lowered to encourage people who are just starting to think about contributing.

Current rank upload requirements:

1. 25
2. 100
3. 150
4. 250
5. 300

Example of possible new upload count requirements:

1. 5
2. 25
3. 75
4. 125
5. 200
6. 350
7. 500

I also acknowledge that, as someone who has never uploaded anything, I might have no idea what I'm talking about

You might have a point.

I would add that resource approbation should vary the upload count too. For example a simple resource should give less than a director cut.
Plus uploading icons is easier, and it is counted per post and not per separate resource. There's a way to balance things out.
However pending is another question. Should we count them ? If yes, how ?

The EXP you get is already different based on the review rating I believe.

We've changed it to

1. 10
2. 50
3. 100
4. 200
5. 300

I had a lot of spells and systems crafted over two years to sate that 150 requirement, and now it's 100? Give my time back!

I remember how spell reviewers sort of ask me to slow down, I should've slow down had I known this happened

Anyway, I think this icon is not meant for mapmakers, but rather contributors on models, textures, icons, and spells, given that this icon aims on numerical contribution, and these four resources are the ones most sensible for it

EDIT

Almost forgot, AI section has been excluded for a long time (if not since forever) last I remember. I have 2 icons and 2 AI icons for total of 4. Icon count of my resources only account my 2 icons. Simple/Substandard still counts toward the icons requirements though
