Want a rank but don't have one? Got jealous and saw a ranked player get permabanned but want his better rank? Don't think you'll win giveaways? Then you've come to the right place!
Background information
Cubelets have 5 rarities: common, uncommon, rare, legendary, and mythical. As of last month, I've started a WIP 1000 cubelet opening where I'll gradually open cubelets (so far opened 160 out of 400 for my 1st milestone; 2nd milestone will be 1000). In theory, mythical chances are less than 1% (have obtained 0 from this experiment so far).
A lot have also complained about duplicates. This suggestion pairs better by partially refunding duplicates by giving points (or maybe cubelet fragments). In this case, this suggestion won't have that problem at all.
Main Suggestion
Let's have ranks offered as a mythical drop (or another rarer category). These ranks have a significantly lower chance to drop (example: maybe 1 out of 1000000 or even lower) than regular mythicals.
Rank upgrades:
-stone to iron rank
-iron to lapiz rank
-lapiz to gold rank
-gold to diamond rank
-(optional): diamond to emerald rank
-(optional): emerald to obby rank
-(optional): obby or diamond rank (straight from current rank)
If the player has the highest rank, this drop will not drop at all. On the side, everyone is notified when a player receives a rank from a cubelet (e.g. "(name) has obtained (rank) from a cubelet!").
Frequent responses (will be updated)
1. This'll feel like ripping off current donors!
-This is why I suggested an extremely slim chance (almost zero) of getting it. The player can always buy the rank from the store and probably has a better chance of winning giveaways if he enters them frequently. This encourages cubelet opening should a player unlock all the cubelet drops. Buying a rank guarantees the player that rank while a giveaway will give the player a chance based on how many enter (approximately thousands enter official giveaways).
2. It's against the EULA.
-No, see this article here:

Nothing in that link mentions about giveaways, just hard currency. No paid advantages are given with this suggestion.
