The problem with SWB is that the only useful rewards are for 9 out of 75 people.

f2p don't get anything useful and never will because as you guys said, f2p can not beat p2w (unless p2w is a pokemon master or f2p has been playing for muuuuch longer). Giving medium refines (2-5) to participating players would be a big step in the right direction and would appease many people.

If your advice to people complaining about p2w v/s f2p gap is spend more, then please keep your comments to yourself. It makes you look entitled and arrogant. An online game needs players, the majority of which are f2p or casual spenders.

Playing in a dead server is depressing.

Do not feed the troll.

This thread has gone way off topic anyways and should be closed soon.

Even with all our complaints, SWB won't be changed anytime soon, specially when 3.0 is less than 2 months away (presumably). Let's wait and see how the update will change things. If it is just as bad or worse, then we should really push for a change.
