Why Diamond? Why not Palladium? Keep with the metals motif. People will realize Palladium is ~DA BEST~ simply by the pricing.

Besides, it USED to be that most 80+ Gold units were something you could unreservedly recommend, but nowadays it's by no means a guarantee of a good unit.

I'd side with iridium ;)

Everyone that sells "Gold" and "Platinum" labels should consult someone who sells gold and platinum, or try to buy some of each.
The last time platinum cost more than the same weight of gold was ... Haswell time.

Also, the last time palladium cost more than gold was ... Zen 2 time.

Funny stuff, those metals. Volatile too. Had I bought a used car instead of a new car that I bought in 2015, and invested the rest in rhodium, I don't think I would be here now:

I think the ranking is based more on rarity then it is on price, but you're right, there are better ways to rank things up.

the more i see how the ranking system works, the more I see it's like a cheesy way to market a game service.
