Agrred, but soon the issue will be as everything goes up so does Gem spending to keep up, my HLP used to be able to get to Boss 36 with gold hits now im struggling at Boss 22 my stats have increased over 1.5 million yet still can not get higher than before ?? If this continues play will slow down players will not compete in events thus leaving a huge gap in someones pocket....honestly to keep gemming will take its toll also!, used to spend 50-100 a month then went to 300 a month now you need at least 500 just to enter, it ok for lower levels but hlp have the harder tier thus requiring more Gems to keep up,
Point is i have seen low levels around 80's with 8-9Mill in stats that s more than me at 180-190's, why it cost less to participate and their tier is easier than hlp's due to increase, if Stat unit win goes up LTQ Boss goes higher simple maths.
the only benefit to HLP is Raid boss to a point and Wars..period
