@Augt00f: That might be the case, it's a must to go to night battle on boss node to get an S instead of A or B rank if the competition on the server is tough. Getting S-rank even gives you better drop for modernization fodder as an added benefit from ranking especially on a map like 5-4.

Let's use your example, one TTK having a 100 S-rank while the other getting 100  A-rank. Say if those two continue to have the same 100 S-rank and A-rank on the next day and the remaining days of the month (assuming 100 S or A-rank per day), that will result to 3000 S-rank for the first one while 3000 A-rank for the other. This is for just for comparing two TTKs but what will happen if we compare those two to others who also get 100 S-ranks day? That TTK who gets only A-rank will be left behind in the rankings in this case. It might not matter at first since it's just a small difference but sooner or later that will pile up into a large amount of points.

That point difference is crucial whether you can make it to the ranking cut-off if the competition is hard on a server especially if you're against hardworking and NEET TTKs.
