Not sure there is anything to complain about. I play on the Kong/Armor server, and I'm in the UK and I have played the game for a while and I'd like to post my "historic" track record and some stats, so I've cut and pasted from the game:
Level: 2323

Top 20% Finishes:12
Some interpretation:
Considering the time zone I'm in, how long I've played and the level of my character, I've done well in BA.
An explanation:
For me, placing well in BA has been all about building a defensive character able to hide out until the damage multiplier kicked in (less than 50 players remaining) and then trying to only attack inactive or weak players. My sole aim in BA has been to gain FPs - as my character doesn't have the stamina to use it as an opportunity to farm XP.
My future under a modified BA:
On the Kong/Armor server where I play, the current BA winner will keep winning, in fact, the current winner will be in a much better position. Players able to use the current BA as XP farms will now get the added bonus of also gaining all the FPs awards. My total attacks (6734) over a period of nearly a year is a mere fraction of the 35,433 attacks the winner of the last BA made. My limited stamina won't make daily bonus refills, boosts, or even stamina purchases worthwhile. Unless the BA timing is good I'd be crazy to join; as an example, I would not have joined this next BA on the 25th starting at 22:00/10 p.m. my time; to explain, after being in defensive mode for over two hours (I could opt for over three hours), to gain both and an XP and damage multiplier to maximize the use of my limited stamina, it would be past midnight - not a time for playing VC mid-week. If I don't sign up for BA's then that's one less opportunity for other players to gain XP...
OK, so BA has turned into a reward for high stamina builds, and I'm looking at my build and asking myself a simple question: after a year, what's my character good for now?
PS I know, this post has all been about ME, but I'm hoping that it'll get some people thinking about "themselves" and Kano to think about all of us.
