Ok let's face it, anyone unfamiliar with the cheap way of making a whore bot or two for the benefit of a primary bot will be creamed by the average player whose played this game before and knows what to do. and getting owned by other players all the time is a good way to for a newcomer to lose interest in the game.
Someone who doesn't have a an excellent bot or know of whoring will not win enough or win against those who have high money and hence get money themselves. Without the kudos to buy the great equipment they will always be not good enough to face the average bot.
so i hve a solution of having the ability to trade your earned xp for kudos, maybe like at a rate of 10,000 xp per 1,000 kudos (or something). of couse they can't trade more experience than they have for each level, ie can't go down in levels.
just an idea.
