There is a penalty on all of your stats when you take on a forum above your level. It wont take as long when you are less than 4 levels below the forum. Try it again when you are at level 30.

I’m aware of the penalty to stats, but it’s the combination of:

1) My attacks now have less power than they did a week ago.

2) The forum now has more ego than it did a week ago.

3) The stat penalty.

That takes something which *used* to be fun, and produced something which is possible, but entirely unfun. This is unfortunate. I mean, if I’m trying to grind for cred, it’s only reasonable to be tackling the highest level forums I can possibly do, but it’s a problem when a forum in the “possible, but takes fifteen minutes of clicking” territory.

I know it’s the nature of nerfs, but in general “taking something away from your players” isn’t going to make them happier.
