Let's not get this twisted... the people that max have chosen their course of action with full understanding of the consequences.
What else do you wanna do?
Not max out and wait other to be higher than you?
You are NOT allowed to attack anyone when you are already able to max, as Wiley was zreoed by kryo's account, where-after Wiley got his ships back from Emi because kryo was able to max.
Sooo.. It's max out, and stay max.
Or: don't max and wait a few days before you max.
What would you do?
