## PvP Ranking

<mark style="background-color:blue;">**What is the new Rank Drop Mechanism?**</mark>

<mark style="background-color:blue;">**What happens when I'm demoted?**</mark>

* You will **drop one full rank**. For example, if you're in Gold and get demoted, you will move down to Silver.

<mark style="background-color:blue;">**Will I lose all my PvP points when demoted?**</mark>

* No. Your points will be **adjusted proportionally**.
* If you had 70% progress in your current rank, you'll retain 70% of the **starting points** in the new lower rank.

<mark style="background-color:blue;">**Why is this change being made?**</mark>

* This system ensures that rankings reflect active and consistent performance, and keeps PvP competitive for all players.
