Probably not a bug.  5 fights in Silver 4 is likely not enough point gain to stop you from demanding.  S4 is the most competitive tier in TTA because so many people will be trying to push into Gold for Ramantu.

Yeah.  You cannot fight 5/day and expect to ever promote out of S4.  Need to fight your free 20/day and climb up at least a couple hundred points into the green.  

If you seriously want to promote, go crazy early week and then climb as high as fast as possible, and then just seek to maintain.  

Definitely the play.  Way easier to hold than climb. 

Been stuck in Silver II for months with no hope apparently of making it to Silver III much less gold.  the Tag arena should be removed from quest and put in something else.  Anything really, at this point I could careless.     Tag is my least favorite aspect of this game.  If i can ever get past these quests I'll never play tag again.

I definitely get the frustration over the Ramantu Mission and the difficulty getting to G1.  Plarium did expand the tiers a second time, but for whatever reason, they still want to keep the bottleneck on Ramnatu.    

However, I have never really understood the general hate for 3v3 overall.  When Plarium introduced it, they called it the new game mode everyone was asking for....which was never true.  What people were asking for was something to do with all their dupe legos, and some genius at Plarium thought this was the end-all-be-all answer to that...Not.  

That said, for anyone who actually enjoys the traditional Raid PVP experience, 3v3 is far more compelling than Classic. Classic has been broken for years and is mostly just a cheese mode for grinding out the Great Hall and Magisteel. If it wasn't for Magisteel, I wouldn't bother doing Classic outside of Fusions.

3v3, on the other hand, still works like it should in terms of competitveness, and it requires you to solve for three problems simultaneously, which requires much greater understanding of gear builds, team synergies, and toon skills.  I approach every 3v3 fight as a 3-part puzzle to be solved....some of which cannot be solved with the tolols at my disoposal.
