    It is amazing . . .

    That at level 90 and above, how few lofts and other higher level buildings are present. I am constantly amazed at how people have moved into the higher levels without any decent economic backing.

    I've noticed the same thing. They also seem to have poor attack / defense.

    Kind of missed my point didn't you counter sniper? How many hoods you have to visit to find those high level buildings?

    No, I didnt miss your point. It does appear that you missed my point though. I'm one of those people without a lot of hi lvl buildings.

    Yet amazingly I have a decent economy by upgrading the regular buildings and robbing the people who fell prey to the "high level buildings makes them better than everyone else" scenario. My stats are great and my economy is fine by robbing people with hi lvl buildings. In addition by not having those attractive buildings I am a less palatable target.

    I have absolutely no problem finding hi value targets but then again a lot of people (you perhaps?) thinks having very hi allie counts makes them cool as well and by doing so they actually shrink their list of available prey.

    Will I get hi value buildings eventually, yes, but quite frankly its not my main priority. Solidifying my att/def numbers even at a self imposed slower pace is key. I see so many people with incredibly lavish hoods and hi lvl buildings with pitiful att/def numbers, why?, because they put all their money in their pretty buildings.

    camping out

    I'm staying put in the 70s level until I get my lofts and enough defense to ward off robberies.

    High level buildings make them better than everyone else? LOL....that's quite a leap.

    I just collect my Lofts and and MTs before people are able to rob them
    I have a minor dilemma now though, as I upgraded my loft and it is out of sync. Debating whether I should let it stay overnight to get get it back on track. Thus giving someone the great joy of robbing a level 2 loft

    @countersniper

    Clearly you and I are not talking about the same thing. There are myriad ways to play this game, but there are only three revenue sources: PvP, robberies, and economy. Clearly your definition of economy is broad enough to include all three revenue streams, where my original comment was only pointing at the economy (read: revenue from your own buildings) revenue stream.

    You can certainly play this game to high levels without a strong economy - but you have to supplant the lost economy revenue stream with increased revenue through PvP and robberies, which is a play style you clearly have embraced.

    My point in this post is: why let a key revenue stream languish below where it could be? It is surprising to me not to maximize all three revenue streams. (although I understand that others may not think along these lines).

    And by the way, having lofts doesn't make me feel better than anyone else. I'm secure enough in my own self esteem to not have a game define my self worth. ;-)

    Keep leveling at L130+ it is very rare to see a hood without at the very least gents clubs and at least 3/5 have most gold buildings and most good non gold buildings

    I'll back up Silvio. I'm surprised how long shanty towns have lasted.
