I do intend to use them. As soon as I hit the top of my server I am going to assemble the best team available and become unstoppable.
At the moment I'm at level 30 and am comfortable. I have teams that are at level 34 on my negs list, so that tells me I have at least another 4 levels to go (I think I have plenty more on top of that in all honesty) until I near the top. What is the point in using loads of tokens now to be placed in a harder cup next season - but still have a team that is easily beaten by clubs on my server who are much higher levels than me?
I can use a load of tokens now but I won't promote any faster than one level every 4 weeks. To date I have promoted every season and as I am still on course to do this (I've never been out of the top 4 spots - and only once have I ended 4th!) which is my goal every season, so why use more than I need to get the same result?
I am also mindful that farming is a volatile nature and it could easily stop at any time. It would be really stupid of me if I saved for a couple of years to get that sort of stockpile to use it now, then get to the top of the server in a years time, with farming no longer available and nothing left to try and dominate.
I'm playing the long game. My intention is to be a force to be reckoned with at the very top. Until I get there though, I am happy to go "under the radar" so to speak until I hit the top level.
