Honestly, while people that read Halo forums might know the division percentiles and even be able to figure their overall percentile, Reach doesn't do a good job of explaining them to the average end user.
I believe The Arena would be more popular if you started at 1 and played to 50 every season. It's a convention to which Halo players are accustomed, and it's easy for anyone to understand.
It depends on how those 1-50 ranks are assigned. If the current Arena system of playing x many games to get an assigned ranking exists people would still find that the system isnt transparent enough.
The percentiles arent the main problem with the Arena.
