Non WD LTQ's are now pretty much obsolete. You can get a much better unit in the WD why waste the time, money and increase of level for garbage units. I got more of an increase in stats for 1 WD LTQ for my LLP's than I had in 10 or so regular LTQ's (non prestige) combined before. Now I needn't spend any gold on non WD LTQ's. To have any chance of getting that Prestige LTQ unit it required significant Gold even with prestaging. This one is a 5195/4024 plane I got a 5000/4780 plane from my faction getting 35 wins. Its a better unit than the LTQ for NO GOLD. Someone posted non gold spenders now becoming gold spenders. It depends on your faction. The makeup of your faction has a lot to do with your gold spending. I spent ZERO. Now that EVERYONE is getting great units it devalues the game and the units. I look at the regular LTQ units and laugh. It remains to be seen if increased WD LTQ spending will offset decreased regular LTQ spending. Plus lower level and higher stats are much more important now so why level up for garbage units?
