Everyone hopes for a level playing field, but there will always be some who find ways to get an advantage. In the case of some of these players, the advantage they have is in having multiples of a limited-to-one GPD, particularly the one that is crafted with Adventure Tickets. But what I'm pointing out is that if you do the math, you'd realize that they still have to spend a huge amount of money, probably far more than you and I would be willing to and for what? And there is evidence that they spend money and time building up their scores because several of them were angrily pointing out that one player was making impossible leaps points.
But with the disaster in the GLB gang last week, it remains to be seen whether they'll band together and attempt a synchronized first placing again. It doesn't pay to spend a couple of hundreds just to get bumped off by one self-serving joker LOL
