--Lastly i would strongly argue that any whale should spend time in bronze before judging what the experience is at bronze playing against these bots. Brutal is what it is.

People in tavern have been suggesting that for over a year. Every once in a while someone tries a Novice to Gold+ run, but not very often. I can't remember everyone (I think there was at least 3 that I know of), but I know Bulldog did one. Nothing ever comes of it though. It's usually just, "Yeah.. that really sucks," and that's it.
