Battleground is no longer viable
I am a big fan of this game and I particularly enjoy the battleground aspects. I spend a lot of time working out the best attacking/defensive troop formation for each individual quest and until recently have had good results. Unfortunately the rewards scheme has changed in such a way that is no longer viable to send hard earned units into the battlegrounds. Previously although you'd expect to loose a lot of units, you would receive most back in return further down the line as battleground rewards. Now they've started replacing some of the unit rewards with crystals and paragon points. This means that the reward for sending in 300k of units into several lvl 40 battlegrounds could be as little as 1 crystal or 5 paragon points. I'd rather keep my units thanks. This presents a further problem that you can no longer replenish your units quick enough to clear the quests in the eagles nest because you are sacrificing a lot more units than you get in return. To highlight the problem, just over a week ago I had a 600k offence, the only place I used these units was on the battleground and now I have a 200k offence.
