I'm happy to have come into cRPG at a time where the experience was "stack on the native PRO banner for free shekels".
I never got the free shekels from banner-stacking..but I was always impressed just how many god-awful practically leeching players they always had on their team. At the same time as a constant 5x. PRO could fucking carry anyone.
Except for me, I was always on the pleb team because that's how I like it.
