I'm level 375 and I have 10 top squad members over level 1000, and when i log in my top squad earnings is usually something like 100k a day....i'll never reach the 100m at this rate. is this by design or do i just have lazy allies?
You only get earnings from squad members who have you in their top squad. Next time you collect your earnings it should come up with how many people have you in your top squad, so your only going to be getting money from them. Not your whole squad. People tend to put the strongest players in there top squad, so you might need to work on your stats.
Also, add new players who need squad. They'll be more likely to put you in their top squad and most new player do a lot of fighting in the first couple of weeks between levels 1-200.
okay, I think I understand now...actually I think thats good because I was starting to wonder if it was because I had 10 squad slots filled with strikers and defenders....will I get more if I put the people who have me in their squad into mine?
You´ll only get money from people who have you in their Top Squad; the main reason for them to have you inside their Top Squad is having good Attack/defense stats (which helps them in battle). As for earnings, people who hunt the Hitlist and get large bounties will surely get you the bigger earnings, so keep that in mind too.
