To a certain extent I imagine most top players are also cash players (myself included) but yes, he’s spending enough that win rates don’t matter anymore. I imagine he’s spending $100USD a day… at least. He’s effectivdly just outspending the competition. If there was a battle cap (even a high one like 50 battles a day) it would mean that Shikudo stills makes a lot of money and win rates (based on player skill) would also start mattering. Because as it is now, a weaker player (though still strong, he’s not weak) who spends more will always be at the top.
My win percentage right now is 68% (which seems high) so he’s not wiping me out by any means.
Wow
…thats a lot of money
! Over a year …unbelievable 
Mind you, he’s not got the top guild tho 
The actual spending up to 50 battles is around 9k crystal, at that point it will be 500 crystal per battle. Then every 2 battles it will increase the cost by 100 means 53rd is 600 crystal and 55th is 700 etc. I stopped at 50+ coz it is just too expensive. Based on the logic, assuming a 100% win rate for Vamos (which is nit true as you defeated him a lot), 3k score will need at least 150 battles per day, the total crystal is actually 300k. If the win rate is less say 70%, the battles required could reach 200 battles then you can do the math. It just doesnt make sense for some1 to spend that much money to keep the spot. Hence I would urge Marspark to check him out if that is genuine or cheating or exploiting a bug.
I very much agree! And thank you for properly doing the math, it’s pretty ridiculous. 300k a day… omg. It’s unreal.
