Not even with a Hulkbuster suit. ive used spidey a lot...not ashamed to say it as i like the way he synergizes w punisher, an in match heal is very useful, and sometimes a stunlock is unavoidable. im seeing about the same levels, so go figure. once i realized that this event was going to be a tinykitty, i said F it and just started doing what i had to do w little worry about my scaling. in retrospect, im OK w that decision because i keep seeing horror stories of folks who tried to manage their scaling to no avail. ill be so happy when this event is over. marc

After 8.5 days of this, players have no choice but to keep grinding at this event. I'm in reckless's bracket, which is highly competitive. All of the top 10 are above 100k and could easily win the bracket if everyone else stepped off the gas a little. Thus, we are forced to keep marching onwards just to maintain position, despite the ludicrous hardships. Personally, I wish that the competition was fair. Reckless should win alone simply for grinding 395s to keep up with the bracket. I feel horribly guilty on a moral level for constantly trading placement in the top position with her, fighting nodes that are one-third of the level that she is facing. Why is scaling even a "thing" in PvE? What would be the equivalent in PvP? Passing 1100 or so, and then all of your nodes turn into nothing but seed teams running 395s to prevent players from scoring "too well in an event"?

It's frustrating to have to leave so many points in each sub, but don't worry about it. I'm trying to stay below you so you can get the X-Force. My main concern is staying in the top 10.

My main concern is staying in the top 10. Thank you for the consideration. I'll try to spread out as much room in the bracket as possible for you to gather points. Still sucks that the safety margin for top 10 in the bracket won't even be determinable until after Alaska closes this afternoon.
