This is why we can't have nice things.
In regards to the 'retcon' thing people were talking about: the way I was thinking about it, one shouldn't have to 'retcon' a change from A-rank to D-rank or E, because 'A' is not a fixed level of power. The idea is that all the characters are steadily getting better, and a change in rank is a change in power relative to others.
To further clarify, if you get A rank one month and stop playing completely, and next month you go down to B rank, your character didn't necessarily get 'weaker' in the game world - they stay the same strength. It's just that everyone else got stronger, so you're no longer on the cutting edge - thus, not A rank.
That's how I saw it, anyway.
