In all fairness - all careers get exponentially less worthwhile after a certain point.

Manufacturers, for example, can charge belts at level 4. Febiani belts starting at 205%. You can finally start charging DeMags (which nobody uses) at level 7 or 8 (can't remember).

Now, at level 13 - I can charge Febiani belts to 217%. You can imagine how much time/CP's it took to go from level 4 to 13. A TON of points that could have gone to stat conversion/building.

The difference in the game? ONE FIGHT. One fight will take your belt from 217% to 205% (or so).

FTR... One of the last times I did speak to Zen, she said it's hard to keep updating the game because the motivation for her to even keep it open is diminishing. She felt like people just complained and whined all the time - and that she had no real "incentive" to keep it updating and running. Zen is a good person though - I just don't fully understand what goes on in her mind when/why/how it comes to AL anymore.

I may be a bit biased, but it does seem like this game did take a sour turn right about the time Err left.
