Top 8 is managable for an active player. My goal is always top 4, but I'm not right at top of the server yet, 6 more levels.

What level are you currently? It is worth saving some ressources until you are top of the server to be able to stay there, but if you are 6 levels away from that like me, it takes you around 18 more months if you always promote...
Am only level 14. I think the highest on my server now is only 66. Even so, thats 4 years away to reach the current peak. It will take forever! My hats off to you guys who are still so motivated after years of playing going through all the changes and adjusting acordingly! I guess other than tokens and greens, even blues run out at high levels since competition is so stiff and everyone wants to put the best possible team out there. On the bright side, it does sound exciting to have active competition but it gets boring if its the same opponents season after season. I guess it is also very obvious whenever they merge servers at high levels? All of a sudden, new teams! Exciting all over again!
