As of right now this makes 6654 survivors able to win, with a total of 12523 survivors it eliminates almost half. I have been playing this game since July and for the first time in that time, I have stayed above the 100k mark for most of this game, but the falling market this last week has realy hurt me, I am at 96k, and praying to climb back before long, but this new rule will eliminate me from the running.
Now what does this put me in the mind for.... well lets see, either it disheartens me enough to quit the game, or another idea is to create multiple accounts, now leaving the game puts a lot of non players here....and multiple accounts does the same, and that can get annoying when we are trying to figure out what our real ranking is, we had that trouble last game.
I know I have been a proponent of the "we didn't make the game so we just have to folllow the rules" camp but this "Elitest" rule realy hurts the game. As I said I have been doing real well this game at keeping myself above the cut, maybe it should be something like if your average for the game is above 100K, or maybe make the cutoff 90k for those that float right around 100k, I can understand why the need for something like this, but don't push about half of the players to quit cause they made some bad choices.
