I was even skipping most of the PVE content to focus on pvp matches to try to regain the points i was constantly losing. Now after reading the forums quite a bit (what else is there to do after true-healing?), I've realized I'm just barely going to place top 25. So I sit right around that point, and if I'm awake I try to make one last quick push just before the event ends. I put in 1/5 of the matches in the last couple pvp events as I had been, which allowed me to pick up my pve game again. (no more trying to do events without the required charcter given as the prize in the one before. that's tinykitty annoying...) Shields are just simply not a real option for a 2* transitioning player, except as others have pointed out once in a blue moon for a reward that feels critical. That being said, don't fight right up to first place. The target on your head just becomes too big at that point, and it isn't worth it. I 'play to play' too, and it's frustrating to have so much time I would like to be using to build my characters, but coming here to the forums to gripe instead. I feel your pain, I've been there. We just have to adapt as best as possible.

Yes, you can try to play at off-peek times. You can try using better defensive teams. You can try climbing quickly with hard hitting offensive teams and then shielding. There are ways to play where you can minimize your loses. But the bottom line here is that what you're raging about it just simply the rules of the game, and they're the same rules that everyone else is playing with as well. You can either adapt and learn to work the system the best you can, or you can walk away. Or you can keep doing what you're doing and just be really mad. That's your choice. Actually, I am just taking it off your tone. I know what's going on, and I posted this here to complain to the devs or someone associated with the game/company so they can look at some of this stuff and decide if they want to do anything about it. Stop talking down to other people and they won't respond as such. You continue to do so in this post. If you don't like it; don't read it, don't respond to it. Tone is a tricky thing in text. Without hearing a voice or reading body language cues one has a tendency to project onto text things that aren't necessarily there. I thought you were new and asking questions. I tried to answer them as clearly as I could. As it turns out you know exactly what you're doing and have things completely under control. So I say to you good day, sir. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Good luck in your future endeavors. The thing that got me was the constant talk of shielding when I was just venting about a large amount of points lost in around 5 or so minutes. It just didn't make sense, I mean of course if I knew it was going to happen, a shield would have been great. I wouldn't have done and any battles and just have left my shield on. My apologies for my part in this, have a good day.

I experienced losing 80+ points before (2 fights) and also losing 4 fights. So if he loses 5 fights and loses 40+ per fight, it is possible to lose 200 points within a single game. Nonetheless it's a definite outlier
