This makes Officer ranks harder to earn and harder to maintain than the Enlisted ranks. Points gained after they have reached this number will count towards their next promotion. In order to maintain their current rank, the Officers must earn a certain number of GCW points per week. In order to ensure that GCW Officers (those of rank Lieutenant and above) are actively participating in the Galactic Civil War each and every week, their rank will decrease weekly due to decay. Scoring approximately 20,000 GCW points per week (on top of any points needed to counteract Decay) could be considered as an "optimum" value, and will allow players to go up a rank once every two weeks. There is no purpose to gaining 100,000 GCW points per week, because the latter 50,000 of those points will barely contribute to the rank progression. This system was put into place to prevent players from bypassing too many ranks in one week, and also to promote a healthy attitude towards "farming" GCW. If 500 GCW points would gain 5% of the current rank, then the next 500 GCW point may only contribute 1%, meaning that the total of 1000 GCW would only be worth 6%. The more GCW points that a player gains, the less impact subsequent GCW points will have on the rank's progress. The formula for calculating how far a player will progress from one rank to the next when the ranks update on Thursdays is not a simple one due to Diminishing Returns.
