Advantage would assume that you can buy your way above them.

How can’t they? I’m punished for farming the materials I need when someone can drop money and purchase them immediately from the TP.

It’s only farmville if you play it like it is. Others see a long term goal they will eventually hit. 1000 G, 6 bazillion karma, a thousands ecto and a dozen stacks of ori and a legendary weapon for each hand… There is no race to “the finish”. It WILL take time.

right, it will take time to finish – why am i being punished when i invest my time to do so?
