Dear Plato, do better.

Dear Plato,
We need a strength catch up mechanic.
The Problem
The strength of the top player in eRepublik(Misho) is above 274,000. It would take a new player over 8 years of training with fully upgraded training grounds to get to that point. At which time this same top strength player would probably be above 500,000 strength. A new player can never catch up.
This makes it impossible for new players or even the old players that never hit that training button to be relevant. This policy drives new players away from the game since they are useless. We are killing our new player base. If new players want to be relevant, they literally have to buy an old account from another player; this is ridiculous. When this happens eRepublik doesn’t see a dime, so their own policies cost them money. Some people say fight in air rounds then, but there is no legend ranks in air and ground battles still make up most of the total battle points.
In fact, high strength Legend players are so powerful in ground battles, that MPPs are useless now. Victory in ground battles has become a question of who has the most high strength legend players and no amount of pack buying can make a new player compete.
This isn’t fair to anyone.
This is heartbreaking.
Signed,

@AG.Tenryuubito But... What if a strong enemy like Frieza shows up?
Sorry XD
Seriously though, stopping strength is bad because using training grounds is a great and free way to earn gold (250 strength = gold). The only good solution I see is divisions. Dividing people into certain strength divisions (e.g. 250-1000 strength goes to division A, 1001-2500 goes to division B etc.) should even the odds somewhat in battles.
Keep in mind I'm a pacifist so I'm no expert, but the above is what I think should be done for those who embrace war.
@killeramt, just call Moro wkwkwkwk..
Nice, maybe divisions based on military atribute, combine of strength n rank..
@AG.Tenryuubito Yeah those should probably also go into deciding what division one belongs to. Anyway, I think capping strength is bad because that means more gold needs to be bought from the store, and not everyone has a thick wallet lol.
Exactly limit need
@DCS Company Do you think so even after reading my comments?
Thats also not fair, people will then be at a stopping point, there should be more subtle ways to improve strength after a certain point however. Saying we should limit makes it very very unfair to players like animis who have played for 11 years. There needs to be a gradient in increase.
This indeed is unfair.I've done a similiar article .
Lets hope this gets a notice

So many comments, so I will write here 😃
I can't say fair or unfair. The game is like it is. Some things change over the years, some stay the same..
But all my stats / medals are here due to my activity.
In 1 year of playing:
- 30k of strength (I managed to upgrade my TCs pretty early, thanks to Umber bears Zljun and Kolak who helped me by sending golds for that + Xmass 2018 event with gifts)
- Titan ground rank (it surprised me as well, but even though I'm an Air account, I have no choice and I MUST fight in ground epics IF I want to grow faster in Air field - so I would say is NOT FAIR that we don't have EPIC AIR battles)
- perception 0.0 - this I see as a good thing, as is only way for players that come after me to catch up in Air field - so untill Plato gives us sea battles, and locked 0.0 diving perception, I think introducing training to Air would just make bigger difference between older and newer accs
- Group Captain air rank - Also reached within 1 year of playing - and I'm very proud of it, I put a lot of effort to this and it shown results faster than expected!
@CG tnx for taking me as an example 😉
Now I understand why I got some friends invites in last few hours while sleeping 😃
@all others - please subscribe to my newspapers, I'm trying to reach 1000 subs to get the MM medal. And you, the Community, are the only one who can help me with this 😉

Absolutely.
woted and totaly agree with you
Maybe Plato should make it so that divisions are divided by str, not level and 1/4 of the player base fits in each of the divisions.
by hit amount. there needs to be more divisions
100% agreed
Yes it's unfair, but you don't suggest a way of fixing the problem. The problem cannot be fixed without possible solutions.
Div by strength would be nice, but it would take away their Mav money, so it won't happen.
Voted but he does not care 😃

That dude has nearly the same strength as me and I am a D2.
😃
Only, I'm not a dude, I'm a girl 😉
And I think I'm doing goooood, for example - you are here since 2012, and me for 1 year only 😃
So looks like you need to catch up with my Ground rank and Air rank hihihi 😉 go go go!

Yeah but I haven't played the game since 2016
😮
Then it will be much easier for me to catch up with your ground rank 😃

so why even have training grounds anymore, you left out after level 200 training contracts are free,....
drop training grounds and charge RL $$$ for perception, keep all you cheats form getting an unfair advantage without really paying for it 1st
Contracts are free?? I thought the training was free...
div by strength is the simple solution. but as others said, then mav packs would have to go and that's unlikely.
