Would that I (or most anyone for that matter) be able to travel to where the highest level foe is that could be defeated. With the $1000 ticket, I am staying put in my area.
Just as it is all but impossible (for now) for you to beat me, it is equally impossible for me to beat those above me. I would prefer for there to be many more people like yourself in the area I am. I would LOVE to "spread the damage" so to speak. Alas, there is 2 9s, 1 8 (in my gang) and several 7s, along with some of the game elders in the area I happen to find myself in. My pattern is to train, attack twice and train (for now, at least), If the 9s are online, jailed or hurt by someone else, the 7s have to pick up the slack. I don't even bother with 6s now, because they give too little exp.

As an FYI (in my opinion at least), too many people are targeting increasing level as opposed to balancing level with stats. Maybe I am fortunate enough to get with the "right" gang, but it is rare that I find any challange from those younger than me (the only one I know of is my VP right now!). It is better to focus on stats and getting a better house over levelling.
