The idea of limiting opponents by pet stats is beginning to bother me. Why? Because there's already almost a caste system in the bd - if your pet is under, at minimum, 125 strength, then many times you get called the infamous n name, laughed at, told to leave, etc. I feel, at this point, that having a war based on stats will only highlight the differences and make this system worse.
If TNT does make a certain 'cut off' point between 1337 and 'n' then would it be not advantageous for a 'n' battler like me to hold off on the 125 boost and wait for TNT to make a final decision?
I'd predict it would be to my advantage to be within the top of a percentile in terms of stats and war prizes rather than at the bottom end of the percentile.
lynnie, I feel that going to the expense (codestones, etc.) of training to the 125 boost for this war would really depend on how exactly this "new" method is going to be introduced.
Of course, most of us would like to have our pets be as high in stats as possible, but due to how expensive training can get, along with trying to get decent weapons to go with those stats (are you going to use a sparkshooter and wooden shield with a 125 strength/defense pet?), this can be daunting, especially for a newer battler who doesn't know their way around the bd, doesn't know what weapons would be best for them and just doesn't have the np for uber-training/uber-weapons.
Right now, I am still considered a 'n' battler because my pet is not at 125 yet. Working towards it slowly, but can only afford 1 training per day, so at present just working on endurance.
I just feel that a new system of war, with people separated as far as their stats will ultimately just magnify the differences between the elite and not so elite. Unless of course, the person with the weak pet is one of those infamous n binators. I really have no respect for anyone who has a weak pet and a 25 million np set (eca, h4k, sos, etc.) just so they can go around beating others with weak pets.
So the new system once again would not be fair, because there are people with those types of pets and sets. Just as there are people with stronger pets who've spent most of their np on training and haven't gotten to the better weapons yet. Those people are also at something of a disadvantage due to a not great set.
