Higher ranks you better be willing to pay to win. I'm not. Its not skill of the other players either....its the fact that I don't whip out my credit card to increase my armor class or spend cash on a internet weapon that costs about a tenth of the real thing. Not going to spend money. Make it more fair for those of us that don't want or can't pay an arm or a leg for a video game weapon or upgraded armor class. Don't even get me started on the attack dog.
