Is it just me or "freeps need to grind all things, thus creeps should grind something as well" is used in most of the threads where freeps have advantage?
Ok i get it, freeps have to grind virtues (even if you dont it's not a big deal), lvl, armour and all those marks/meds. However once you've grinded that up it's pretty much it. You might need some extra medalions/marks when new expansions / content comes out. And tell you the truth most freeps won't come out playing until you're well set.
IMO the threat of things we grind is by far on side of creeps since we have to grind while being exposed to freeps (with this I mean while those comms balances are f*** up). Ahh and don't forget freeps got new deeds in osgi for extra comms while creeps didn't.
