Then you should look again the amount of PayPal players won't tell you how good a team is... It's not that easy. I think PayPal players are overrated. If you want to be a part in the top 10 - and I'm talking about a longer stay - then you have to max out your whole team in the attributes this post needs. In that case a PayPal player isn't stronger anymore.
And hey. Those players are part of the game. It would be senseless to play without them.
I got a few as well. Mainly bc of the shitty AH. At lev 20 there is no problem... I know.
Karl, I agree with 90 per cent of your explanations but you mentioned a point why PayPal players are not overrated to my mind. There are not a lot of solid and well trained players in the AH.. so you have to take what you get. There is no other option than to train the shit out of new players to max maybe 4 or 5 of the key attributes and you may reach that goal right before these players turn 31, then you have to fill your starting lineup with other 2, 3 or 4 bad trained players of the AH.. it is nearly impossible to max all starting players in all key attributes for a free player (well, that is just my experience), especially for high levels. On the other hand there is a team with 4, 7 or 10 fully maxed Paypals instead of 3 or 4 bad trained players and other maybe 10 or 12 solid trained players with a few but not all key attributes maxed. I don't blame the spenders and it doesn't guarantee you success but of course its a big advantage in my opinion (especially if you battle in higher levels or in the top 25 on map). But you have to deal with that or pay real money, too.
