We need XVI on LC. More and more people are completing XV almost on a daily basis. The players are outgrowing the ranks. If XVI is made, a new playerbase will develop and cause more people to want to play. It would be a HUGE success for LC. The number one reason for XVI's lack of existence is the fact that there are not enough color codes in Minecraft to have a unique tag color for every rank. That can be managed. CUSTOMIZING the XVII name color/tag color is an option. Or, a special symbol next to the player's name in chat and/or tab. Another option is having multiple chosen options for color combos, preferably in different color families (blue, green, red, purple, etc), along with possible special chat perks or permissions for XVII players. Strats have become so developed on XV, to the point that the rank is basically a joke. It is too easy to become a final rank. The WRONG solution for this is buffing XV. Over 40 people have already beaten XV. Why make it harder for everyone else? Make a new rank. A new challenge for those who want one. Everybody wants a new challenge, especially CupStackingKid. He created a video on why there should be a XVI rankup. He made some excellent points for example:

Hype - People love new and important courses, and the achievements that can be earned

XV is too easy - Already addressed, but strats have become optimized to the point where XV is a cakewalk for every player.

The name color - The name color doesn't have to be a unique COLOR. It can be unique in its own ways.

XVI has always been asked for. Not just recently. Players have always brought up the fact that XV is too easy and that there needs to be a true, legendary final rank. With CupStackingKid's video, this petition, and the words of the players, it has become evident that an XVI is necessary. The players are tired of completing XV too easily, and wondering why it took them less time than XIV. Take Designercop for an example. He took MONTHS to complete XIV, with over ten sky attempts. He got to a point where he entirely gave up on XIV and moved to HARDER courses than that. He completed every fantastic challenge before he beat XIV. Then, he beat XV in less than a week. Less than a WEEK. It's too easy, and that doesn't mean it needs a buff. That would be wrong to the entire LC community. A new rank is NECESSARY for the survival of LinkCraft. Sign the petition. It'd be wrong not to.
