Isnt it a bit too lame in a game to reward the inferior or outnumbered side with the ability to purchase high performance aircraft(perked) for less, so as to make life "Fair" since life isn't.

Thats the epitome  of a  socialistic game.

think it is better to let things run its course.

... so the game would commit suicide by making eternal losers and eternal winners?

 By any chance were you around about a year and a half ago, during the "Dark Hour of Rooks"?

 There was this 8 month long continuous gangbang where the Rooks would be outnumbered and gangbanged by Knits and Bishops, which had almost 2 to 1 odds against us(effectively, Rooks were fighting 4 on 1 odds).

  And this, wasn't anything like the usual "someone's turn in the hole"(!!!). Literally, Rook players' patience fell apart at the seams. EVERY Rook was frustrated against a 'rigged game'. Our channel 1 was raging with fire. The gangbang was continuous without almost no exception. It was during these dark hours Rooks began organizing the RJO with any efficiency, just to survive. During these hours Rook players had to practically grovel at our feet, begging the large squads at Knits and Bish to rotate to us - it was during that time some of the prominent players who were previously at Bish or Knits, came to the Rooks. (Particularly the former LW squad members who were in the Knits, big to their efforts).

 I think the streak went as far as about 14 consecutive resets against us - happening all along between US, Euro and Asia primetime.

 It was about then AW went belly up, new players without any 'affiliations' to a country signed up and joined the AH world, and thankfully, they seemed to have chosen their country by numbers balance. Things got a lot better during that time, and many months back, finally, HTC put in the perk multiplier+changing perk prices, which has dealt with some of the imbalance issues.

 Now, the imbalance in numbers isn't as high as it used to be, and the disadvantaged have a chance to find a spot of fun by using planes they normally could not. (For me, 10 points for Ta152 gave me a chance to use the plane a lot)

 ....

 Hey, if life ain't fair, by that logic you shouldn't complain about the recent agenda.

 Get out of the hoarde, and join the underdogs if the high perk prices bother you that much.
