1. Those are red tools, not gold.
2. I'm on server 7 and you wouldn't even be close to top 10 in my server. So please stop making your posts sound like verbal attacks.
3. If I was 81, I would have way more power than you, so again, please stop making your posts sound like verbal attacks.
1. It's a matter of opinion to color tools based on background or name color. However, the REAL difference lies with how many levels you can upgrade the tools, and thus far that's 3, 6, 12 and 18, which I consider to be green, blue, purple and gold, in line with more or less everything else. I know there are difference in tools with, for example, lv 12 cap, but those are minor, only a few point of fixed stat which can be easily dwarfed by the random portion of the stat. I don't consider those to be a tier as the difference is too small. This, along with the name color, is my rational to call them green, blue, purple, gold. What is your rational?
2&3. I know the earlier server have more people and thus more ptw so I'd be ranked lower. However, my point was that there is no objective evidence that "level freezing", and at that multiple ones contributed to what you have achieved and that high power/ranking can be achieved without freezing. Now that I know sage does have brackets, I will accept that freezing right before entering the next sage bracket could result in additional rewards. However, beyond that, there should be no benefit. Someone mentioned earlier on this thread that survival is based on power, so level freezing isn't really helping there, good team compo is what makes the difference.
You mentioned that you have frozen 3 times, I do wonder what the sage bracketing were at those 3 specific time instance (as it probably wasn't always 70, especially when 70 was the cap). If it is just above the level at which you froze so you get sorted into the lower bracket(and is the top of that bracket), then it could have been beneficial. But otherwise, it seems to be a waste.
And finally, while you might have more power than me at 81, the difference might not be "all you". Part of the reason my power is "low" is because my max power team is one that I only use as a backup on masuri, thus mostly neglected and not properly mooded. Furthermore, while there are disadvantages to being in a populated server(fox dies faster thus less income for everyone, top sage bracket being hard etc), there are also advantages. Group development, for example, should be much easier for a populated server. My group, for example, just made level 9, so still only lv 8 skill. And that's including a 36m coin donation I've made personally. One tier of group skill, which I believe at least some of the group on your server should have achieved, could make a huge difference. And unless group policy dictates, I doubt that amount of donation is probably not required to get there, with the eight gates, that could be hundreds if not more power if I had kept half of it. And finally, by the time you are 81, I'd be 83, while the only thing there is an awakening and 2 level+cultivation, it might still make up the "higher at 81" difference. And except for sage brackets, the game won't care about the level so as far as power goes, it'd be an even match.
In any case, the question comes down to, did those freeze actually do anything themselves?
