It is a lot of nonsense everywhere and plarium became greedy or it was always, the day where I quit is closer, the only purpose is to swuck units from players until you cash in.
For instance in today solo pvp where you must kill units, I attacked with 308 K offence points (97% fleet) and I killed all units in that haven which all had 6750 fleet deffence points.
I lost 8170 offence points losing 5 brethren frigates + 3 frigates + 1 brigantine
Seems the offence units from that haven gained better:)))), after this intelligent move planned very careful for days in captain log especially for this type of tournament I gained tremendous 180 pvp points.
What can I do with 180 pvp points? a lot of things, if I'l make another "smart move":))) with 70 pvp points I will reach 250
and finally 5 frigates as a "reward":))))) but I lost almost 9.
Since the battle is unfair and the big player loses his units, there's no point to engage combat which goes to corollary there's no point to play this game.
