They miss the 3rd factor then: time dedication

Or simply not hunting continuously the same and right mob

lol, how many ubers you see in the top 5 lately? It is rare I would title it "Are noobs stealing our ubers?" ofc you could say Newcomes to be more politically correct

[valentin]

No the "Ubers" dont steal the loot they earning it but the big problem is what i hear often that most off the "ubers" has started here long time ago when you had good chance to loot good items and all good items was cheap so in a way they got free ride to the top and as we all know the only thing MA can do and does all time is to nerf. all the time so i thinking if some one becoming a "uber" now days because ´its many times harder today to do that...
Just think if a player woud deposit about 40K $ for 5-6 years ago what would he or she get for the money and look to day and so on...

And all this is up to MA because off there "" balance"" and "" nerf"" and "" dynamic""because they rule this game.

So yes if you ask me - i think that the who made theres way to the top in the gold age is pure noobs from todays "ubers" thanks to MA but they dont stealing anything they just got a free ride because its many thimes harder today.

But now we have new problems and its that is that in the game is few "ubers" who works for MA and in the same tame they can be in the game and get money from it and if thats true then it is totally wrong.

i think everyone see this question differently.

newbies seeing old timers draining their loots
(example: aurli, hogglo, atrox, scipulors uber ATHs and HOFs, uber crafting ATH etc..)
old timers also seeing newbies draining their loots
(example: daikiba,exas,berycled,drones uber and not to forget the wonderful mining ATHs.)

Therefore it's hard to really describe who is draining whose's pedcards, it's certainly not me, i'm not the ubers nor the newbies. but i can definately tell you who had ur peds and it's Mindark and they do "giveback" to those uber Globals and ATH we see.. just not sure how much. So no need to worry u know ur peds is in "safe" hands.

i would like sorry for the word "stealing" it was a bad choice caused by my bad english. Probably drying is better (hmmmm it s correct this word? damn grammar).

I dont think the Ubers "Steal" the loot but they dam sure take a huge chunk.

When they locked many of the high level accounts with that problem a few weeks ago so a percent of the high looters were not able to log in I noticed my loot shot thru the ceiling. No I did not get an uber loot but my avg loot was about 3 to 4 times what it normal is lately.

So yes they people that play at the upper levels demand a huge part of the loot balancing by what ever the formulas may be. Whether it is deserved/ earned/ or flat out bought does not make it "Stealing". Could it be more fair as an over all system... probably. Will it ever be.. probably not.

Best we can do is find where in the pyramid we are and skim as much from the edges of greatness as we can.

So a player who spends 1,000 peds in 3 hours or faster is stealing your 14 ped loss from last 50 ped opalo hunt? Yay at the logic.

[MrHummel]

Its my ped card they are draining.!

Now i understand were all my looses go too.

[Smoerble]

It depends how you see it:
Ubers have better equipment and most of them a better insight to the game than newcomers. But I would never call this "stealing", it's just natural.

So I voted "no".

Yeah "stealing" is the wrong word to use.

When I started, I would see people like Starman and Strakkan getting great loot and nice mining claims, I never thought of it as they were stealing my loot . In PE you had to skill up, gear up, grind mobs, and drop lots of bombs in doing this you became more eco which allowed you more opportunity to hunt the mobs that dropped nice items or search the fields that contained sellable resources. Seeing them being successful was motivation to get to those levels to be sucessful as well.

Success in EU is there for the taking and these days I see many people at various levels who are successful. That tells me the progression system is not as linear as it was in the past. Good for some bad for others but I do think those with higher skills that match their equipment enjoy different benefits and its not just measured in ATHs or nice or rare items in loot. That should be motivation for all to continue grinding away to reach those levels. Even thought its hard to reach high levels its not impossible. I have reached 3 of 4 of my skill goals this year and by the end of the year I plan to have met all 4 and I don't play 8hrs a day 7 days a week.

Your loot is not being stolen by ubers its just waiting there for you to claim your piece of the pie. If your not striving to get to a better balanced(skills, equipement,and know how) avatar then the ones with a more balanced avatar will be more sucessful at any level. Its the ongoing continual challenge of PE/EU and it motivates me everyday I have played and will continue to play EU.
