[2020] WG...low tiers, seriously...wth

We have never said that. Please don't say we said things that aren't true..

THIS ^^^^^ is exactly why we don't do too many missions for the lower tier battles. Because the lower tier battles would be flooded with VERY experienced players, though NEW players do get protected MM even at 500 battles players get thrown in with people with thousands of battles and that is not particularly fun.

As for the CV meta, that is being addressed on WED with the new patch.

So something that was said 2 years ago in just a passing conversation that I have no context on in terms of what the original question was or any information on is gospel?

Well I'll tell you that is not true at all, especially considering information I know that I can't talk about (again NDA). Though our FOCUS may be higher tiers, it does NOT mean that no energy is being focused to lower tiers.

Also, the current mission chains for the Operation Lifeboat campaign are tier IV and above I believe.

I will tell you officially what I quoted below is EXACTLY why.

Operation Lifeboat missions are tier IV and up. But that being said ALL of the initial missions that steps through the account levels and various early game achievements give rewards. We want players to learn more about the game than focus on chasing missions.

As many of you have pointed out new players already have enough challenges put towards them. They get A LOT of rewards for stepping through the early game experience. I recently started a new account on EU and forgot HOW MUCH free stuff they get.

Mahalo,

For you it may take no time to get to tier V, but looking at the bigger data (which I cannot discuss too much) not a lot of people speed up the lines. So we have no intention of speeding this up more or changing how lower tier interactions occur.

The reason that the XP and credit income is so much more is because you literally skip a tier from 4 to 6 and then to 8 and 10. As for the RP, those numbers I would have to dig into.
