I have played CNC Rivals for a long while.
I will say from a PVP stand point - What JoinMe is saying can help in Arena.
In the game CNC Rivals, They have 13 different Arena Tiers.
Each Unit in that game can only go as high as level 15.
Level 1 is the lowest unit amount.
Level 15 is the highest unit amount.
The game made set limits to stop PVP Abuse.
The game made set limits to prevent player Bullying.
Let me give you an example.
A player would play the game for 1 year + spend couple hundred dollars on the game.
They would make there units level 15 (Max Level).
They would than drop all the way down to beginner tier mode.
All the beginners - Newly Joining Players - Would start the game with level 1 units.
These players with level 15 units would begin trying to stomp on new players to make them quit.
They are not inactive players.
They are active players with evil intentions to abuse & bully beginners into quitting.
There bullying makes them feel powerful & happy.
This is why the game made max set limits.
The set limit for beginner tier mode would be lets say level 2.
This means if a player decided to drop down to bully on a beginner with level 15 units.
The level 15 units wouldn't show up in the fight!
In the fight, The unit would turn into its level 2 form.
It would have the stats a level 2 unit would have.
This gives the Beginner a chance to win.
A beginner starts off with level 1 units.
A beginner could getting there units to level 2.
This would allow the fight to be more of a skillful battle vs. overpowered/ over leveled battled
Now in Raid - People are complaining because they say they are fighting against teams with level 60 max out legendries.
They don't have a team fully level 60.
They are upset - They think something is wrong.
If the game made a set limit, A player with a level 60 team.
They wouldn't go into the fight fully level 60.
They would show up as level 35 or something.
There gear could only be +10.
The point is Raid has done nothing to stop players from being Evil.
A player in Platinum with a team 300k power.
Can De-level themselves to Bronze to fight vs. players with 30k power.
Nothing is stopping them from doing it.
The only reason most players from higher Arena Tiers don't go to lower Arena Tiers is because of Medals.
A Bronze medal isn't as good as a Gold medal.
Gold medals will help you upgrade your Great Hall better.
BUT a bully doesn't care about medals.
They only care about there ego.
They only care about how powerful they are at destroying weaker players in arena
