I just want to add that people all not be thrown into the same bucket.


Although I've posted many times about things I don't like - I've ALSO suggested ways that those issues might be improved. Maybe my ideas won't work, but I've always tried to provide a solution.


I think most here try and suggest an alternative - and most of those ideas probably won't work because we don't understand the underpinnings of the programming - but if enough people don't like a particular issue, then the OOTP folks at least know they need to look for a realistic solution.


That said, the base-issue here seems to be "a level playing field" and I "think" the best way to deal with that (to repeat) is to populate the various levels from day one rather that lean on Promotions to fill the upper levels.
