Isn't length of playing time the most important factor here by far? Unless you both started at the same time, and have spent the same amount of time, it's tough to say bc one score is higher that a general strategy is better?
If you want to compare strategies based on a 1 by 1 player score (which I must admit is not absolute, because each server "culture" is different) here are the facts:
-I started to play a bit later (11 days later, according to Prisca's own words).
-The lvls I raised my arc in 20 days are worth ~150% FP compared to his
-During these 20 days I increased my FP packs from 2-3k to 10k+
-I do not own a field of ~50 SoKs. If he purchased them with diamonds or with got them with huge luck I do not judge. But if I had them... I can assure you my arc would have reached 80 long ago.
-I haven't been gifted free high era goodies from guild budies or purchased them with diamonds. I had to buy them with FP, at rates that were fair in my server at the time.
-15-20% of the time I was travelling due to work reasons. And I hate the phone app, so I collected and spent the FP, but barely did any questing while I was outside.
-Based on the number of battles I believe my playtime is lower too. I consider that the reward/time ratio for plundering is too small at low ages. However, I've spend quite a bit of time writing and editing an excel megasheet.
-The only valid claim Prisca makes is about goods. If he is following the "sect leader" strategy to the letter he should have a couple thousand goods more than me. Anyhow, despite the guild donations I have enough to skip several eras if I wanted to. And the goods contributed by a higher lvl arc were enough to fund most of my current guild campaign in HMA.
PD: Sorry for the oftopic. I swear this will be my last post of this style here, as I'm usually not fan of the "who has the largest ____ " competitions. But I was a bit tired of seeing someone claiming to be better than everyone else in every aspect; who isn't willing to contribute to interesting discussions with neither evidence-based nor hipothesis-based arguments AND whose city is worse than the ones he criticises (despite longer playtime, a SoK farm, etc.)
