I've slogged through over a year around 500 in SA while building up towards my first gl (all ftp), now that Ihave jml i'm actually in contention for being in top 100 cg is going to kill purples. Great..... meanwhile myself and 75% of the opponents I face in gac just do auto defense and leave it.
This is another in a series of really bad decisions cg.

If you just set an autodefense every time, then soon you're only going to face people who only set autodefenses. For the rest of us, after the initial sorting period, people who auto will be at the bottom and we won't be matched against them.

People keep beinging up stuff like autodefenses or sandbagging or whatever without actually thinking through the consequences. Sandbag? You're reducing your rewards. Autodefense? Reducing rewards. Facing autodefenses? Those players tend to lose, so after a while you will have separated and won't see them. Lower rewards "in general?" You aren't "in general."
