How's your mods? How long did it take to cultivate those mods?
How do you think the mods are on the accounts that are starting and buying these kits?
They'll have the GL's, they won't have the Zetas for quite a while, nor the mods to beat you.
You HAVE to have catch up mechanics. Trying to recruit in a high end guild is quite difficult right now. The game needs fresh players and if you expect it to take them 7 years to accomplish what you have if you started Day 1, there's a near 0% chance the game will survive. That would hurt my teeth a lot more.
