So I took a 2 month rest from the game. Upon returning I whad fallen  from  Gold V to Bronze 1  (no big deal and expected)

But what was not expected was how Savage  Bronze 1 all the way thru Silver 4   would be.  I mean absolutely savage.  I could generally  only win 1-2 matches per page  and  a couple pages  I  just gave up without a win  and refreshed.

It was so discouraging  I  questioned myself if returning to the game and trying to get back to Gold V was actually worth the effort.  But I persisted against  my hesitations ,  buying  refreshes  and arena tokens  to  claw  my  way  back

BUT!!!  when  I  hit  Gold 1  well  what the heck .  All of  a sudden  I  was winning  8-9 battles  per  page  and  now  I  was  the Savage  one tearing  thru  page after  page of  opponents.  Gold 3 and 4  saw  a tiny  increase  in  matched  opponents  but  still  cleaning  6-7  wins  per page

Gold  V  was  just  as  I  left  it  and  am  now  back  there.

This  is  not  a complaint  so  much  as  pure feedback.  I  just  wonder  WHY?  The frustration  was real  in  bronze  and silver  and  I  did  contiplate not returning  at  some point.

I  am  glad  I  stuck it out  and  my  account is back to the  level I was before  and  enjoying the game  much  more now back in  Gold V 

I play  Raid for what it is  and enjoy it for what it is......But  I  am not sure  I agree  with this set up for returning  players ..Some may  not  have the tenacity I did to continue and say  F    this   :(

If anyone knows  why  its set  up this way  explain please as I am genuinely curious to know

Peaceout  PG
