I feel its a minor point. It's still renown, just used in a different way. NYGM didn't get rid of renown, just used it differently.

Personnaly i think people dislike the renown sytem because they acutally have to be successful in order to obtain upgrades.

Ive always maintained that renown is a very reasonable model of how the tools and material aquisition works in a real military. In the real world, it's all about who you know, or who knows you. if your joe schmoe nobody, you simply dont have the connections. Theires how the military is supposed to be, and then theres how the miltary really is. Its a harsh reality. If you don't have the connections, your just SOL. This is renown in action.
