World Challenge 2023 - Example of degrading nature of this game

@Huffman931 You should have tried playing before 2010. You would ev hated it even more.... Bullying, verbal abuse, shaming,...
A lot has changed since the early days. And a lot less is tolerated.

As for funding alliances? The funders get to the center first, it's just the way of things. Everyone else has to play a lot longer to reach the same goal.
If more people actually played together to stay in the game long term there would be more satisfaction.
