The claim that "everyone" could afford the best cash unit was not meant literally. It was meant to illustrate the point that someone who makes $1 million per hour could afford the best unit and compete at the same level as someone whose income stat is fifty or even one hundred times stronger. Would people who have 100m attack/defence be happy about a decision enabling players with 1m attack/defence to compete at the same level? Why invest all the required time (and possibly real money) to build your stats if it the same results can be achieved with virtually no time or any other form of effort?

I don't disagree with that. I'm just saying if you raise the weapon price without leaving something meaningful for new players, you are pretty much making it an event for old timers who built their hoods. I AM that player with $1mil iph and I don't expect for a second to be able to play on the same level as someone with $20 mil iph. However, I would like to at least have the option to play. NOt compete with high iph players, just play. I started a second account 6 weeks ago, and been building it's iph, but it's still less than $100k right now. I couldn't play the event at all with that account.
