Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I understand correctly, you'd need
to iterate through all players and the complete playerfile (all
playerfiles, depending on what you use) whenever a player gains
'hidden' experience, to determine if his rank has increased? If I
misunderstood, please explain in more detail.
Otherwise I'd say this would be a terrible waste of runtime, especially
if your playerbase is in the thousands.
