I used to run around in silly gear before the upkeep patch and I have continued to do so after it, in fact I will go on doing it.

HURRAH FOR SILLY!!!

40k actual gear cost, I make money. I am in heavy armor and use an expensive ass sword. Only horsemen have to use kinda crappy gear to survive repairs. Still made money with 50k gear as a horseman though. You are either a major platewhore or you play siege all the time.

Alright uber-folks, I know that it's fun to troll, but I'm being serious - There is a balance problem, and just about anyone who is relatively new to the game can see it.  It's not like I haven't given it a fair chance - and this is the only place I know to express these doubts.  I'm currently 4th gen.

No doubt skill very much comes into the game - however, when you're faced with an opponent with full MW gear all the time with a bank account so large that it doesn't matter, skill is also quite mitigated.  And when you come up against an entire clan of folks like this, well, you might as well not even bother.

All the cavalry on one side.
All the ranged roof/hillhuggers are on one side.
All the clans are on one side, vs randoms matches.
Shitton of 5-0, 5-1 matches.

Enough?

All of those are caused by upkeep now?

I am an archer and I have severe trouble in making money. from first gen lvl 1 to lvl 30 I have finaly reached 30k of gold.
That includes a donation of 20k from CoWorm to get my equipment.
Is it intended to earn so few money? If so, then how do people have money to buy loom points anyway?

Warlord - that's just stupid.  And obviously points out there's a balance problem if people have to scam a clan banner to break even.

Let me guess, you use the best bow (one of the top) and the best arrows...
Well yeah use the best gear and it is supposed to be hard to make money.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

I ride a rouncy, use a light crossbow/bolts, and have a sword in board in chain gear.  That's hardly over-powered.

I have no idea how you lose money with that.  I use an arabian warhorse, light crossbow, steel bolts and a longsword and generally stay pretty even/make money.  My armor is probably cheaper, but not that much cheaper.

Upkeep is no problem unless you think you want to play with the Panzerhorse and Plated armor.
Just get a stack of money for 'rainy' days.

No. I'm talking about team balance.

Also that banner stealing my old friendgorty is just hilarious. I understand banner balance, why was it introduced, it's a nice concept. What we need is a system to separate clans from other players, somehow. This current 'lul many *insert clan here* are on, let's change banners and milk x5' mentality is just retarded.
