- yes, to make 7* players isn't much but to build 9*-10* players is something you can't do it with a simple farming and training.
Also I disagree with what mac spotted. At this period 99% of the superb teams of 9*-10* players aren't token buyers.
they are exploiters or managers who stayed some seasons and gathered some thousands greens.
About the division I don't agree with your point because there isn't a specific number of teams there.
If it was for example 1000 positions in Platinum division, then yes, I should play with a platinum group to compete for one of those positions.
