shield rank - underwhelming thus far?

aside from a chunk of iso each level up, does shield rank really do anything worthwhile? 

shield rank should actually help more than just allowing you to pick a clearance level for events.

something to the effect of:

level  50 - 5% iso bonus 
level 75 - 7.5% iso bonus
level 100 - standard tokens are automatically upgraded to elite tokens
level 125 - 10% iso bonus

    i agree with your idea, but still 5% ~ 10% in iso will not make that big difference. (but better than nothing).

    The way to add more to shield rank is to add Clearence level 9 and 10 and add 5* to progression for those CL.  You will see a lot more players play at the higher CL if they can get the 5* they so desperately need.

    i do like you idea of a bump in resources based on your shield rank.  Especially when you reach 125.  Right now you get 125 and you are done with all things associated with shield rank.

    I do believe there should be more to the shield ranks. ISO boosts, reach clearance level 7 be able to redo prologue once a week for iso and tokens (tokens based on your clearance level), hp and iso boosts for people who buy hp and iso depending on your shield rank. Those are just a few things that come to mind.

    There already is an increase in iso for added shield ranks, although it is indirect and tops out before most people become iso starved.  Higher shield rank opens up new clearance levels, which reward more iso for progression and placement.  If they introduce more clearance levels, presumably there will be even more iso available.

    An ISO multiplier sounds like a wonderful idea. When you win a match it then multiplies by the CL you are in, nice!

    This would be a very easy thing to implement. Good idea. It would also help whenever they finally decide to roll out CLs 9 and 10. It would be another reason for high end players to play at the levels they should and not down.
