SOCOM Ranking Gripes

First off I have to say that Zipper had a good idea when they set up the ranks so that there are different classes of players. Additionally, I think it smart to also make the lower ranks dependent on number of games played. But here is the rub: 100 games until you make it to the actual Ranks (thats rank with a capital 'R'). Given that the majority of games when averaged end up lasting one hour, you are looking at having to play over 100 hrs to achieve status. 100 hours equals 2½ full-time work weeks! And I am not even taking into account that at least half of the games you enter are filled with bad mouth children or are half-way completed and don't count towards rank, which must add another 50-100 hrs of gametime. My suggesdtion is that they drop the rank requirement to 50 games.
