Well with all due respect, your either here for the game, or here for your status. I respect your opinion, but the whole " It's not worth it " angle seems a little shallow.
Well, you know if you think about it - let's say, it is a bet, if you lose, you will have to pay $50 bucks and if you win, you will get $10. Will you place such a bet? The probability of you winning is let's say 50%?
I'm not overly point conscious kind of person and I like good strategy games and have fun.
I know too well how it is hard to get points when you are down and out. I have been from major to 1st Sergent in a week when I played indiscriminately. So, I decided to make some nosing around on colonel and such. How they play and maintain points.
I just randomly choose some high-ranking users and see what kind of games they play. They usually play freestyle, escalating games or team games. And they don't have very many active playing games ( like may be under 10 average?).
My findings are by no means conclusive but since I don't like freestyle, escalating or team games, I decide to play selective games with higher rank users. My reasoning is that they know the game, have good strategy that I can learn a thing or two while playing and not worry a lot about losing too many points. And I can be of clear conscious that I am not bullying the noob and earn my own points.
