Hey there,

What you present here is a very popular issue now, and while I understand it, it is also something I had my own opinion on for some time.
Thing is, with how big power differences are on lvl 90, it's exactly the same thing as it is with stopping the leveling. What I mean is, on my example. I'm a level 90 player with about 74k power. Situation for me is, that I either face players that are 40k power, or 100k power, it goes either way. If we were to take this situation from the 100k players perspective, they are to me, what 60k players are in lvl 89 fields to others.

I apologize if this wasn't too clear, but it's a topic that's a bit complicated for me to explain. Basically what I mean is, no matter if you stop your leveling or not, there is going to be someone who stands on top of SWB. Players who stop leveling make it easier on themselves, and so do players who spend a lot of money to have high power. Personally I don't mind either, I win some, I lose some battles, being fortunate enough to be a "middle class" of my Sage World Battlefields, but I enjoy the fights more than the actual factor of winning or losing. I understand it may be a problem for really competetive players, that cannot afford to increase their power by spending, but it's a problem that's unavoidable.

This all being said, my essay behind, I respect the suggestion, and whilst it's rather unlikely to be implemented, I will forward it to our team to be discussed :) Thanks for the feedback ^^

While I see your point, and the lower power brackets would work fine in this system, the problem begins in high end of the spectrum. I suppose it's obvious that top players can't have worst environment to play, which is difficult to promise with how spread top powers are.

Issue that I'm addressing here also affects players that are just above 70k power. 60-70k is currently estimate for a "perfect f2p" or low spender power, so on the high end of the spectrum those players would end up in a situation like the one now, being on the bottom, and only beaten up.

Fair fights are a thing that's very difficult to achieve, especially again, on higher power levels, because there is not enough players to fill 100k spots, and even if there were, there are also players stronger than them, so limiting it is bad.

My point to which I'm going is, no matter how this system would be built, there is always going to be a dissatisfied part of the community. Making it into arena style fights would be technically fair, but at the same time, again, top spending players could see it as a punishment compared to what they have now.
I can't really know for sure, but I believe this is just a very difficult situation to get out of, due to the fact that each solution leads to a dead end.

To wrap it up, while I respect all the ideas suggested here, I don't find them to be easily applicable.
It's not for me to decide, thus I will present those ideas to our team, what I'm saying here is my own opinion on the topic.

To answer this idea, once again, it would work nice for lower power, let's say 100k and lower (my apologies for using 100k as "lower" power, it's only to show a point). When we look at stronger players, which are usually at points like ex. 200k, 175k, 140k, 120k, 100k, or so on, then you get a situation where high spenders are punished for not being strongest spenders.

Once again, an idea that works brilliant for most of the players, but punishes spenders.
If you get extra points for fighting on your power level, that means that highest spenders will fall behind in points.
While I understand the motivation, and I won't skip any of those ideas while suggesting a change, it has a flaw of ignoring the strongest players in game.

This idea doesn't sound so bad, and I agree with it.
That being said, as usual, I can't really do much more other than forward it to our team to be discussed.

Thanks for the incentive though XD

To avoid more spamming of this thread, I will be closing it for now.
I appreciate everyone's effort to make this game a better place, thank you for that ^^

I will do my best to present all ideas to our team :) While I already said, some have flaws, none will be ignored by me, as they may contain potential inspirations.

One thing I would also see helping in a situation like that, would be to make SWB award experience points. This way, slowly but surely, players staying low leveled would be elevated up. That being said, it's again, just a suggestion XD

Once again, thank you all, have a fantastic day, and don't hestitate to suggest anything else for the game, if you find any cool ideas ^^
