When you're close to dropping out, you know your actual rank, but not how close the cliff you're about to drop from is.

So let's say you're ranked 4900 with say 1180 roses. You can only see the cutoff upwards, for example 2125 roses at 3000, which is pretty irrelevant to you since you're not aiming at 3000, you're trying to stay in 5000.

And you don't know how many roses are needed to keep you in the rank (in this case, 10, since for example the cutoff is 1170 at 5000). So you find out from someone else you're 10 roses away from dropping out and either decide to stay where you are or spam items.
