Lower Levels Hitting Higher Levels By Pat Willis#224534

You see it every now and again. The odd ball fight in your fight history of someone significantly lower in level than you actually hits you. Most of us watch the replay just to see who was gutsy enough to try in the first place, or watch to see how many one hit kills we get on the challenger, or even what the biggest hit was that did away with them.

The reality of the situation at least from my point of view is to take them less as a joke, or one off resource collector and more of an evaluation. I mean think about it we were all there at one point. All agog with wonder at all the shiny metal toys we could get a hold of, maybe not pilot right away, but we could own it through one means or another. We challenged those higher than us once upon a time often to see what the other mechas were like to fight against and only dreaming what they would one day be like to pilot. Much the same with the weapons we weren't at sufficient level to get yet.

When lower levels hit us it is also a good time to see what they are packing, do they have a lot of winner #1 mechas, niode gear, and a smart line up? If so think about mentoring such a person and groom them for possible clan recruitment later. If they are just weekend thought jockeys, well let them have their fun and hit you, it  isn't like a loss counts for anything so they aren't even hurting their own stats to go suicidal on you. So take a good long look at who is attacking you, see if you can get a sense of what they are about play wise. At worst you make yet another enemy in a game full of them. At best you may earn a possible ally and an investment in your clans future.
