The more and more I read in this thread the more I get effin irritated. Like somebody pointed out, it's not possible to identify, unless stated here on the forums, where somebody is based for definite. For example, they could be in the same time zone, but work nights. If, as claimed, people play for 15-16 hours per day then there is still going to be some significant overlap.

Somebody mentioned about just taking being dropped in our stride an try and have fun, but when we're paying a lot of money also it just isn't fun being limited because the big hitters don't want us even though we're hitting for 30 mill + and willing to throw more than one cube at a boss.

I'll be blunt, and I don't care if I annoy some people (cos you've dropped me anyway), but it can be construed as the top players colluding together and imposing a glass ceiling so that other players cannot break through. Thus, the same players are constantly getting the more powerful tier one cards and leaving the rest of us outside the top tier behind. Definitely a vicious cycle and definitely not fun if we want to do better than tier 2 in return for the money we have spent.

Just to add, I do find Mobage partly responsible, but I also find some people kind of selfish and hiding behind BS of not being the same timezone. That goes both ways, and doesn't bother the rest of us (we keep weaker players on our lists regardless). Plus, a hand full of players is a drop in the ocean compared with the size of the ally lists and the fact that majority of the helpers on a help list are random.

Just my 2 million cents worth.
