Never, ever have I T10'd. Never, ever have I cracked 900 points. Never, ever have I shield hopped. Experience: Three seeds, skipped a bunch to find a non-166 team to beat. Four matches, 102 points, 113th: have to skip many times to find around level 150 teams rather than all 166, seeing occasionally 270's and often 220+. That was a lovely surprise. Sounds fantastic just like BoP - any single person I attack can easily beat me back. No way to push deep at the end without paying $$$ for health packs. D3: you want this type of system, you need to completely remove loss point-losses. I have no idea how I'll get anywhere near 600 in this unless I pay $$$ for shields over and over. So that is the plan I guess - pay money to play PVP or don't play. Like Lerysh mentioned - playing X-force/IM/166 EVERY SINGLE TIME through the event is going to get massively boring. They had already chased me out of PVE with scaling and constant grind, my guess is this will chase me out of the game for good at long last.

I was alone in 1st place with no other players showing in the ranking screen. Just me by my lonesome. Played the first 3 easy matches and was immediately hit with the 290/270 wall. Put the phone down for about an hour after the first 3 matches. Came back and still in top 20. Not a lot of people playing is the feeling I'm getting. As of this morning I'm in first with just under 600 points and less then one day to go. I'm up by about 100 points right now but for most of yesterday evening and overnight I was up by 200. I'm still getting the feeling that no one is playing. I'm mixed on this because the first place yellow xforce is my only missing cover (5/5/2) so I'm happy to be cruising so far to a hopeful, easy win but on the other hand it seems like the competition is lacking in this event.
