for rank but if you get high enough you can get stuff too

And Shepherds we shall be.
For thee, my Lord, for thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand,
That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be

is that the higher your rank, the more stuff you can unlock, but I dont know about the trade points in thing, but of course Phantom has the most points on here ever, so yeah,...
