The concept is sound. The problem is with how you get matched up to opponents.

The ranking system is complete garbage. There are too many times that there are maxed lvl players with 60K+ bp in chunin!! There is no way for a person just starting out to hope to ever compete with that kind of handicap.

There is a basic rule in military terms which will apply to this game. Mass or tonnage = power or bp

Simply put the more you have the greater the chance of you being the winner.

that's why so many players don't do matching opponent events (Just look at the activity in the Arena Ranking System).

If you want a more balanced way to match players there is an easy fix.

START MATCHING PLAYERS baseD ON AVERAGE BP! This can be applied to anything battle related.

This will ensure balanced gameplay for everyone from beginner to Expert Ingot Recharger.

It will also bring back the Basis of what this game is about. The Strategy!

I bet nobody can come up with a strategy for winning this underdog scenario: 120K BP vs 40K BP if you do please post a youtube video of it for everyone to see.

For the longevity of the game this must be done.

there is no or minimal chance for any Free player to ever compete against a Paying player and that's all good. But you cannot keep frustrating new players by continually squashing them. most of them will quit and the game will slowly die off from lack of players. It has been slowly happening since version 3.0 rolled out.

That's the reason why you had to create an event to lure old players back to the game after 3.0 launched. Just saying!
