Ubisoft has confirmed that they will keep the ranked and casual rule sets distinct. We have received formal confirmation that the tactical integrity of the ranked playlist remains unchanged. I am shifting focus to monitoring patch notes to ensure this commitment holds during the next rollout.

SAVE OUR SIEGE!
Ubisoft has recently announced that they will be making Casual and Ranked modes almost identical, and creating a separate "hardcore" playlist later on (which won't even be very hardcore). This choice was based upon a poll of 10,000 players. No, not members of the current dedicated fanbase, but the OPEN BETA players who logged the most hours, people who were playing for free and had nothing invested in this game, many of whom may not even be playing anymore.
This is a terrible idea. Siege's realism and tactics are what set it apart from other games. We, the fans of Siege, don't want to see magical outlines of our teammates through walls in ranked mode. We want to be rewarded for communicating our positions to our team to avoid friendly fire. We don't want to receive instant confirmation of a kill: we want that suspenseful uncertainty of taking potshots at fleeting figures, unsure of their efficacy until we see a body. We want to watch and listen for grenades, not see some flashing indicator that was literally invented by CoD, the antithesis of Rainbow Six.
In short. we want to keep a mode that attracts serious, tactically minded team players. And for those who don't, THERE IS ALREADY A CASUAL MODE FOR THAT.
Ubisoft: if you follow through with this, you will be splitting your fanbase and alienating your main demographic based on a blatantly faulty poll. Creating a casual, ranked casual, and hardcore mode makes no sense, and will kill your game.
Keep ranked and casual separate, and you will keep your fanbase happy.

The current level of support confirms that the community rejects these proposed UI changes. I am currently finalizing a formal letter to the Ubisoft development team to ensure this feedback reaches the design leads directly.

What I have played of Ranked has been really fun so far, please don't go destroying it by converting it to casual. Casual is already there, so why make another casual mode? Removing map voteing was bad enough, but this is going to be absolutely horrible. The feeling of suspense and uncertainty will be lost in the flood of more casual players and hitmarkers.
The experience with all the silly indicators just isn't for me. I purchased the game based on the hardcore ranked gameplay and now it's all been taken away.
Please Ubisoft, don't hamstring this game that has so much competitive potential with casual Call of Duty style features. Does CSGO have hit markers and point indicators for anything other than kills? No, and that's the market you are pursuing because they are dedicated. The Call Of Duty crowd is fickle and pandering to them will only hurt you in the long run.
This is not a smart long-term plan. The player-base will not withstand 3-way split in game modes 6 months or 1 year down the line. Do not do it.
Use actually relevant data...like current players who actually play ranked and don't ask ambiguous questions...before you decide to make changes like this. I hate this decision.
I want a Ranked System not a casual game. I don't want to play with 12 year old's who don't know the meaning of the word "tactics"
Don't do this Ubisoft pls

Separate the true competitive and the casual players. Ranked should be solely for people who are going to play the game competitively and work together. Countless times I have played matches in casual were the people don't want to work together or just simply don't have the experience that we need in order to win the game.
