my point was that its d**n annoying that i should get punished for being better then everyone else...
and encoutners have decreaced dramatically in the past few years... reguardless of the power..
To your first line well it was not obvious that you were complaining about you should not be punished with a lack of encounters for being good. Thank you for clearing it up.
You do make a point in that right now due to the skill level of players there are a few that are really good and the rest not so much creating a drastic gap of power between them.
This means that the few players that overtake the rest don't have any encounters they can do.
As to the rest of your quote I think the reduction in encounters you have noticed could be correlated to the number of good players decreasing. As I remember when the top 20 was pretty close together not its the top 3 and the rest goes down pretty quick. So before there was a much higher change of an encounter spawning at your power level now its dramatically less.
This is an issue I can see when you would not want to run around the galaxy burning 10k turns and not find anything decent to do. Its not fun and would make you want to leave the game.
Something should be done about this what exactly I do not know
