Re: Did Lunacy really level the playing field?

Rookies have lots of help, but even with the new challenge of Lunacy and the control system, the veteran teams will always have a lead...and you can't get rid of that lead without getting rid of mentors, and i don't think we can do that.
There's ways to heavily argue this but for the most part I'd agree. Money, mentors, and resources don't grow on trees for these teams and I hate it when people assume this.
