CONSTANTLY having 10+ people in your range gunning for you and, AT MOST, 3 people on your side is ZERO fun as far as I'm concerned.

The problem is that we've somehow created this vicious, self-perpetuating cycle. Obviously, some people prefer playing goodies, some people prefer playing evils. As a goodie, getting through the low to mid pk ranges is like running across a bed of hot coals... you just need to do it as quickly as possible or the coals will catch you and burn you to a crisp. For the evils it's the other way around, so they avoid the hero ranks and sit down at the mid ranges where they're strong. And on, and on, and on.

Goodies: I'll lump you all together because the same thing applies to all of you. I hope you're proud of yourself.

Getting mad at "goodies" as a group doesn't make any sense, though I understand why it's frustrating for you. I'm sure there are plenty of goodie players that were just as frustrated with their inability to rank past level 35 due to all the evils around. It's everyones fault... or no ones fault, depending on how you look at it. People like you play a part in it by getting to hero range then deleting, people like Astilamos play a part in it by stopping just shy of hero range, and so on, just as much as the goodie characters play a part.

I have no idea what it's going to take to fix it, since it's been mostly lopsided since about the middle of Ulthur's life, right after Dullameh imm'd I think. There have been times when evil made a resurgance, but it never seems to hold for long. It actually seems to me like we might be on the brink of a resurgance now, but I bet the War Master deleting will be a pretty big blow unless they are able to fill the spot quickly. Just yesterday afternoon the hero range was largely dominated by evils, though I don't remember who all was on, so maybe you just missed it.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy your next one more.
