chess is a good metaphor imho... but if you want another example... take combat sports.. boxing, westling.. or martial arts.. do these athleats find fighting someone in their same weight class boring? challenge is overcoming odds yes... but as a 145lb (mongal metaphor) fighter.. how much fun is fighting a heavy weight???



reguardless... its one thing if this idea afected the regular mp game... it doesnt.. its just an addititon.. so if you dont find it fun.. then you dont have to play it. there are people that will enjoy it.. there are people who will buy the game because of it.
