The point I'm making is, the only solution is to burn one player to satisfy another. It's been a problem, for some, for WELL over a decade. The only solution I've ever heard, and watched it fail miserably is to segregate the players to country. You want to talk about a change that will kill a game like yesterday, try segregating.
I remember a year ago when rooks had their ars handed to them nightly. And this is my other point. It's a cycle, it has no time limit as to when it will change, but it will. These cycles usually last weeks – months. But sooner or later Bish or Rooks will be crying that Knights are over-whelming the MA, and vise versa. You just have to ride the cycle, and know it will also happen again.
There are a LOT of players (me for one) who prefer to play for the underdog side, just as there is those who only want to be on the winning team. The underdog players will migrate to the side with lower numbers, which will change the momentum. Then the winning team players will follow and that is when it becomes over whelming as it seems to be now. And again, the underdog players will again change teams, and the winning team players will follow. It doesn’t happen day to day, more like month to month or quarter to quarter. I’ve seen it last as long as a year, I’ve seen it last as long as a couple weeks, but it always changes. Again, you just have to ride the cycle out
There’s another way to look at it, which I learned to adopt in the same situation, it’s makes for a target rich environment. ;-). Take off from farther healthier bases, and rack up scalps.
