This topic is for anyone who doesn't have rares, score or electrum.

After grinding t50 for a couple months, I've noticed certain times of the week are better for grinding.

Earlier in the week is better for grinding. You can stop reading here lazy people.


Explanation:
The beginning of the week is the best time to grind (arguably) That is when medium score players make it onto the t50. Most of these players know that they are only going to be on for a limited amount of time and rare farms become more frequent. Either that or they don't know and you can beat up the decks that they are using easily.

In the middle of the week, there are fewer farms, and top players decide that they have given enough farm. Lots of evil decks around now. Towards the end, I play a couple times to see if vets have switched back to farms, but generally, they haven't played for a while and are either the same old anti-farm decks or gone back to score grinding

Good analysis.  Like I said on Kongregate, I'm a fan of your work.

It's opposite for me actually, I put up evil decks beginning of the week and farms later in the week.
Lower score people who occupy T50 early in the week don't care that much about farms, I usually see many FG farm decks and the like.

I agree with BC here. Generally low score ppl don't know or care they are in T50 at that moment and keep on grinding FG's or whatever. Certain high score players hardly play/grind anymore and put up farms for a longer period of times. It's also the people with higher scores who tend to put up farms.

Therefore I always found T50-farming at the end of the week much more succesful...

I think it's "better" (i.e., safer) to farm T50 at the end of the week.

Although, if memory serves correctly, I recall there being lots of farms right before War II started (since some team members did not have a certain number of rares for decks). It might be the same this time around, too.  :))

I'm usually in top-50 until Wednesday (around 170K score) ... and I always have a farm up when not playing. So that favors earlier in the week.

I always put up farms on Sunday, so that supports Tea's theory. Not that it is hard evidence, but on Saturdays I tend to get pwned by a lot of stalls and/or evil decks designed to counter T50 grinders.

Damage control time:

t50ers, please don't read this thread and go against it on purpose just to prove that you are right. I would feel bad for pointing people at t50 just for them to get pwned.

:D thx Seiya

I agree with batcountry that it's the opposite; a lot of times I see FG Rainbows generally from #40-50. Whether it is because they want to show off their deck or whatever, I don't know. I try to put up a farm for the short time I am in T50 (until around noon, 5 GMT). It is ridiculous how many Rainbows I see on Sundays.

FG rainbows fit into the section that says "they don't pay attention tot ehir decks, so u can just beat them up". Timebows generally die pretty fast vs a good cremation rush.

And i started to fear that some (nearly all) weekends this year were just too S.I.C.K.™. Good to know they weren't.

Brilliant. Now I know when to get BatCountry's pillar farms. I love winning pillars :D

All joking aside, thanks for this Tea.
