It was just as hard for me to get to my usual stopping point, but now I get 2* covers because rank 50 is over 2k. I'm not thanking anyone for the tinykitty they scraped off their boot.I think the "rising tide" theory is way overblown in the forums. It only helps you if you see those juicy matches, which requires you to participate actively to get them. It's only a rising tide if you catch the wave. Everyone else is still stuck hitting 30 point matches and getting smacked around by 5* rosters the moment they pass 900.

Some of these are the nicest, most grounded people I've met online. You should be thanking them due to trickle down. While I don't have any particular grudge against the people who get ludicrously high scores, I'm calling hogwash on the "trickle down" argument. If you look at the final top scores on a CL8 PVP, you'll see something like this:20191857145614501379932908876There's always a HUGE gulf between top 5 and the rest. The points don't "trickle down" because those people grind high super early, and once they reach 1k+ are never unshielded for more than 3-4 minutes. So it's impossible, or nearly so, for anyone else to reap the benefits of the whole LINE shieldcheck/cooperative score inflation racket. Sure, once in a long while somebody outside the club can queue up a grillcake or cupsteak or beefsnake or whatever they're called now, but that's the exception rather than the rule.Again, I don't harbor any ill will towards these people and I don't have any illusion that it's going to stop anytime soon, but don't tell me it benefits everyone because it's nonsense.Can we call them beefsnakes? I reread that just now and I found it really funny. I kill me.

That hasnt been the complaint regarding the tests.Placement rewatds were increased during those tests ... by robbing the top progression.The complaint was more effort being required for the same or reduced progression rewards.If you've enjoyed those tests, its easy to replicate that difference. Convince everyone to stop shielding, stop worrying so much about hits.

Do points stay really high after like 1500? Like, if i run 5 stars, can I keep hitting people for hours and nobody hits me and my gains are all 50 points? I know I get to like 800 and get hit a bunch and all my battles are worth 30 points. Are these people cheating?
