Heck I know a certain player that would happily pay to get Naruko, Shizuka, Guren, Dan Kato, swimsuit temari etc in new servers just to shake the meta but frequently such ninja fall under a once per server lifetime event (counting from opening to merge as lifetime as so many quit and move on around merge week)

Have you guys noticed how players join a just opened server play a month or two see someone meta up and move on to a new server hoping to meta up again and again *like my groups leader* - That would be a nice cycle to break by having under played nin around for people to goal when they cant meta up, it would reduce the need for frequent merges and in theory retain players as some will meta, some will anti-meta, and both sides will have loyal friends keep it populated and spread a desire to keep playing x server to prove x method best method.

The number of people using methods that shall not be named to play seems to have rapidly grown... with some I've asked listing the miniclients many "bugs" as the "reason" they use such tools... if the meta never changes why should these "players" stop using methods that shall not be named to play when it's a monotonous unchanging game as it cant only be due to the miniclient being poorly optimized and a infinite swarm of black screens if you dare have more than one account logged in at a time. *latter a slight exaggeration but srsly
