dude, seriously. Complaining about someone else being stronger than you and beating you up really isn't gonna help anything.

A year ago I was one of the top levelled players, top 10/15 in stats and top 5 highest level. Now I come back and my BEST stat (which is miles ahead of the rest of mine) is ranked around 80th. From being able to kill almost anyone in the game I'm now a whipping boy for pretty much anyone.

Why is that though? They've been playing for a year, I haven't. Henceforth, their stats are THAT much better than mine. I can't expect to come back and just bomb along the same way I was before.

In the same way, you can't expect, as a brand new player, to just waltz in and be given rights above those that have played for years, just won't happen. Things have already changed drastically to benefit new gangs, back when I was playing our gang was disbanded 4/5 times in a row by people we had no chance of beating. And yes, we complained in the forums a lot about it. But that didn't help our case, it just made it worse.

So while I totally empathise, trust me when I say you're going about it the wrong way, it won't help you.
