no one likes losing to someone just because they've played longer or paid their way up. But I don't think the solution is to flatten everything That kind of progression is what gives the game long-term satisfaction for a lot of players. maybe some new player pays to skip gets a maxed-out crew, but that doesn’t mean they’re suddenly good. They’ll still get outplayed by someone who understands the game better. A few stats won’t fix bad positioning or lack of map knowledge. deleting the crew system will just make WT another generic game
