JaxxxonUK:But can't for the life of me understand why I can't buy them now...
You're not alone. I created Young Guns CC specifically for high tiered - low level players to compete against one another on a more level playing field.
It's worth noting that high tiered - low level players, even with mediocre clubs, tend to be some of the smartest players I've played with or against. They don't make a lot of bad decisions or take a lot of low percentage shots. By and large, they are very consistent,
I have never had an easy match against other YGCC members and, even though we don't win a lot of Ready-Go Tourneys, I think these are the players who will dominate when they finally reach the highest levels.
They are competitive by nature and typically unafraid of challenges. They might even have a little more OCD than the rest of the community, but that's an admirable trait in this little universe.
It's frustrating, to be sure, but you should wear your accomplishment as a badge of honor. Think of it as being in an Advanced Placement tier. It's supposed to be harder for you. You're better.
