Personally I don't give a flying fuck who's team I'm on, or how well my team is doing.
BUT I'd like to point to everyone that says "I like the challenge" or "It's not a big deal it makes you better, and I do it" If you've been playing awhile, and you're above average you shouldn't have an issue. But for the new player that doesn't have a lot under his belt, and is struggling with repair bills, and just trying to find his niche and character set up in this game, it can be very overwhelming. Obviously no one uses teamwork as previously stated, but how is average joe schmoe supposed to inspire randoms to team up against the Harlem Globetrotters.
The only advice I offer for new players, or people who generally upset with banner balance is this: 1. Switch your banner to their banner. 2. Find the top guy on your team, and follow him around, he's obviously doing something right.
