This EQD ranking for upgrades must be reaking havoc for lower spend EXP's let alone plat plus, platinums and golds. The EQD ranking priority has pretty much rendered all those 500 miler certs useless.
The EQD ranking doesn't really affect Plat Pro, Plats or Golds as it doesn't change the number of EXPs in front of them.
And your being 7th doesn't mean everyone in front of you had higher EQDs as they could have been using a higher status instrument (SWU for example).
