Believe me, I remember when it was the other way around, and SNAPCASE was one of the most high-profile Decepticon-to-Autobot moves at the time. I suppose it does take spells.

For me, it's like I'm still starting all over again, especially since before the crash that formed the last reset, I had at least half of my 12-mech team over the 10M XP mark... and that took me something like a year and a half or thereabouts to achieve. My top character now is slowly edging towards 1.6M, and then only because I'm trying to keep all my characters in fairly close proximity to one another (and my bottom six are anywhere from 200K-300K back from that mark). Just difficult when you can't get the XP because the lower-level missions aren't worth it, and the 1-11 missions are usually (not always, but usually) dominated by high-levels of both sides.

There's other reasons too. But such a discussion might upset someone.

Well, I have purposely been playing less of my 8/9 level characters and leveling up my 5-8 characters. The only character in constant play for me is Darq. I haven't leveled him only because I like to have him see some action. Most of the 7-10 and 9-11 missions are empty for him. I will be glad to level him to 10 if it will get more players out there.

As for the players on sides being outnumbered it is true that there are more active bots than cons. The cons that play use to play much harder and with longer play times. Having a job that wakes you up at 1 am to restore a server or working 18 hours a day to build a network allows me to pretty much play all hours. In fact I despise the job I'm at right now due to the hours of useless support I have to maintain. My average work week is 68 - 72 hours a week.

I am willing to say though that if playing my higher level bots will help with xping the lower cons I'll go back to my primary 6 instead of my secondary six.

Not levelling up when you could easily do it (and by easily I mean being able to have 3-4 stats past the necessary point) has always been regarded as cowardice in this game.

But you're just not playing those characters so it's not a big deal.

The lack of high level 'Cons is because N_V and even Potentate stopped playing (roughly the same time ... interesting ) and a major lack of level 11 'Bots for the lower guys to feed off.

Nah, I usually level all my bots up. Darq is the only exception to this, but once I got him to the point to level to 10 everyone kind of stopped playing. Right now about 2/3rds of his xp is either 1,000k wins from empty 9-11 missions or 800 7-10 missions.

My primary group right now has been Nyteshade who is about 4 points from 10 and then the rest of my 8-5. The only one I can actually level to a new level would be Darq and that pretty much takes me out of the 6-9 missions and destroys most of his Xp.

Yeah there's no point levelling up TOO soon, like I said, if you can do 3-4 points into the next level, do it.

Plus anything past level 10 you're putting into pointless stats anyway so you don't have to worry about balancing. It's all about the carnage and the ridiculous scores ... which just aren't happening at the moment even though they could be.

I wish I had more time to play! Took a new job back in May and its occupied a lot more time than I ever expected. Still pop in when I can though.

Im willing to Level Nosferatu up to 11 if it would help the game at all. Exodus and the rest are as high as they can get for now!

N_V and The Potentate return on the same day ... and they disappeared around the same time ...
