and i never said that the little guys didn't matter, i said the guys on top need to stop whining after every change is made.
nice essay though.

Umm... Matt's around 70 days younger, me and Raf are around 100 days younger. Tell me how exactly Chris having been here fully 50% longer means I've been here 'as long as Chris+Sarge'?

I'll just back it up with numbers. Chris is 315 days old. I'm 217 days old. Khan is 121 days old. So yes, I've been here longer than Khan, but it's the same difference as the time between me and Chris... unless I'm much mistaken?

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but did you not complain about the possibility of a change being made? When the change was made, yes- we (being me, Matt etc) were against it, though at that time- we were the ones chasing. Now, we're on top of the mountain (ish) and still all for the change. Why? Because it betters the game all round. If someone can simply donate heavily to get an instant bypass( which considering Titus is 76 days old, already #6 on battle stats and will be #1 within a couple weeks, is certainly not an exaggeration) then it essentially splits the game into two halves- those that can donate, and those that can't. Those that can't, no matter how active or competitive, will have to settle for being second best at all times. There is no outlet whatsoever to compete in.

An active donator should always beat an active non-donator. But a less active donator should NOT be able to beat an active non-donator, and that's the situation that we can find very soon. At the moment, Titus is incredibly active as well as donating heavily, so all credit to him. But if he was half as active, he'd still be out-training everyone in AWL.

As to some of the other ideas, I think they're awesome, btw. Eaglefreak, I totally agree- experience counts for a lot in fighting, the younger guys have the speed and strength, but a fighter with experience will still have the edge. The idea of mtn of having a training boost for higher levels is a good one too.
