This what I have to say on the matter, as someone who started as a fresh newbie back in April and has found his way to the endgame...
First, the competition between Wolfgang and Elite has been the most fun I've had with this game so far. Truth be told the game was getting stale for me, and now that there seems like there's actually something to play for besides
endless grinding, farming and bossing; I've got a renewed interest.
No offense to Elite, but I don't know how most of their players have stayed for so long with so little to do. I can't imagine playing this game for months on end with no competition. Lining up for boss after boss knowing full well you're going to win and can take all day if you want doesn't sound like fun in the long run, it sounds tedious to me.
As for Sreng, sorry to bust anyone's bubble, but we've already killed 6* Sreng (with the help of our friends in Elders), and while I wouldn't call him easy; he is, in my opinion, easier than the 165 6* Boggan King. We haven't killed Snorri yet because we lack players of level 170-180+. All in due time though.
Now, as far as plat use, this one grinds my gears. We've had plenty of clean DL 6* boss kills, from spider queen to sreng. No, they don't ALL go as planned, but you learn from experience. However, I do take issue with someone who would do everything in their power to make a fight difficult for us by dragging adds all over our mages, taunting the boss away to try to reset it, root it in place to prevent us from bolas walking;
and then laughs at us because they've succeeded in making things difficult. Do you really think we would need to fight so desperately if not for your own desperate efforts to screw us up? I don't blame you for trying, but talking smack just because we overcame the adversity in an admittedly messy fashion just reeks of a sore loser. Besides, you call it plat, but to me its just pots/idols, because I've yet to find a need to spend any more than the 10 bucks I spent a week or two ago. I buy my pots/idols with ingame gold farmed by yours truly. I would never spend hundreds of dollars on any video game, my money is worth more than that; let's call it priorities.
In closing, I would reiterate that I welcome the competition offered by Elite. I harbor no grudges against their players. I'm a big boy with much more important things in my life to sweat over a video game. I look forward to the day when I myself can drag adds over your mages and taunt your bosses away.
