I have been pondering this for awhile now, and IMHO, the answer is yes. If you set the rank bar higher than what it is now (which is lower than a complete career) would it encourage players to explore more non career based advances? More importantly, would it slow down twink style characters and allow more freedom to create more organic characters?
Bear in mind here, I am still thinking that you can still only train a skill once per rank, in fact, the 10 advances / class as per written would still be fine. All I am looking t considering is a change of the rank thesholds.
Any thoughts?
