Not sure what has changed this drastically. I mean obviously everyone gets free eq now which hurts us as we had been frugal and budgeted well and always equed everyone up all the way to 72 gear. Chem has had an even bigger input. Bottom line, our builds are very very very good. Our coordinators are very good, yet something has changed that we are missing and it's going to make me walk away from this game. Our group has always worked very hard and tried to do the right hting and be right by our players and opponents--yet now with great builds we are getting beat by "lesser" teams. we've put a lot of time and money into this game, but I can't keep doing it with these results. With 5 core teams and about 600 players all told--this game would feel it if we all left. Esp. since we were going to make at least one all new team this next season as well.
I've talked to so many other owners who aren't having these issues and they don't understand what our issues are either. Not everyone will even talk or share info--even teams we won't be playing--so that speaks volumes as well.
You guys were a solid kick butt squad, blew right through AAA like it was a speed trap with a quaker cop car.
And yeah the free gear thing is definitely a leveler, and chem a team torpedoer it seems now more than before.
But hang in there. No sense in making sudden moves, game could change back or into something you like more just as quickly as it changed into the current state.
