I just want to know one thing.

Who's going to pay for the psychiatric bills huh?

Bad enough the likes of sprokitz and myself will probably need mental therapy (ahhhhhh shut up about me already needing it) when we suddenly find ourselves scoring just over 100xp. You want to add even more people to that list with a tease of what the higher level payouts are like and then snatch it away from them? The results could be devestating and cause a game wide mental breakdown! :P

Heck, you'll be level 11, fighting 2 othe rpeople anyway. I just want a chance to get up there and pound on a few more well known people, and a certain someone I let slip out of my grasp a long time ago. Any luck and we could even overpower those walking sushi bars and their leader the Kalamri Lightbulb. :grin:

Ok I like this. It will give all of us lower levels a taste of what it feels like to be in the higher levels.

Not entirely true. As you get up in the levels it would cost more to upgrade a stat making it harder for you to go to the next level. Hell GP has been sitting on almost 2 million xp because all of the stats I would upgrade for him cost over 2 mil to upgrade.

Sure some ppl would just jump up beyond their reach but it would allow some ppl to fight those who they haven't fought before, or at least in a while.

That way we wont flood the higher levels with n00bs, we'll all get a taste of the big scores and the game can continue at the usual levels.

And when the reset comes it wont be quite as much of a shock... :lol:

BUT NOT EVERYONE MAY WANT TOO GO UP OR CAN. DUMMY.

And that same logic provided to Burn too. And what about the bots who are saving a bit more XP before they jump up. Someone who is just about to be ready to contend Level three could be almost ready to contend level 4.

And eventually level-up costs may constrict some people before others.

Or maybe there is a way of giving each team 20 million (or whatever the total) and letting each player do with as they please. Granted it would probably be more work for OS in that case.

If OS just dumps the same amount of energon on everyones top minion that they can then remane/reset/level up as they see fit, then the rest of the game can continue like normal as there is a tounament going on and minicons to enslave still.
