I am silver 1 in tag but i see some ridiculous teams on a sunday when i put my defence back up.

I dread to think what gold is like.

Mostly i ignore tag though so not overly bothered

I kind of like 3v3 lately but the tiers are terrible. Highest I've been is b4, and it seems the memo of free defense during the week skipped people in this tier

Although the free defense during the week and dropping a real one in on Sat is just another symptom of the tag problem.

Bronze = < 1year and/or f2p (early / mid-game)

Silver = Competitive (late game, at a minimum beyond arbiter missions)  

Gold = 2year+ or $$$

They nerfed classic for f2p/new players, unless they release something else PvP related in 2022/2023 expect Tag to be difficult as F***.  The game is a business that needs "paywalls" in both pvp and pve.

I think people would be more upset about this if there was anything worth the effort in the higher tiers of the Bazaar.  Personally, I'm fine with just buying Drexthar frags on my FTP and energy & ancient shards on my main.  

It'd be nice not to be permanently stuck at the absolute bottom of the pile, though.  I've probably won about four or five thousand fights since 3v3 opened last summer, and I've literally never made it to Bronze II.

Lego books in gold, is worth the effort to dip in once a month.  The epic books in silver as well, I don't think the void shard is worth it.  

Mayhaps I should reconsider my lazy ways.  It's going to take until the mid-2090s for me to max out all my current Legendaries at the rate I'm accumulating books.

lol.  Tag is tough, but you can learn more in a week in tag than  a year in non-hard DT (the DT floors are great for trying different comps against difficult foes) content.
