My character on 29 has 179k. I am trying to utilize runes to best effect, smithing, and talenting my butt off. I am the third strongest in my guild. The other two have 250k and 190k. We get slaughtered. Every time. BECAUSE people like you think it's not broken.

You talk about 1 Million Power like it's nothing. Something you burped out long ago. If it were possible, I'd let you try the Pirates game with my character... for a week. So you can see how busted it is.

One million power is a lot bigger than 100k-200k, and it represents a god-awful imbalance. I'm reading the wikis, checking the tips from winners, doing my best to follow in their footsteps, but I get squashed all of the time. It's not broken to YOU, because you have a buttload more power than 99% of the players on this game. It is self-centered blindness to not be able to see how that effects lower power players who just want to try the minigame out, only to find out that Tynon has to be a full-time job for them to be competitive.
1 million power is easy to reach, I think and politely suggest that you need to spend more time in the rune temple. I myself, sink a good 5-10m a day in there. Just for the record in my guild there's a guy who hasn't spent a dime and is current level 60+ and riding on around 2 million power. It might interest you to note I'm current at just over 2m and I've beaten players with up to 3m. Power is all relative.

It's common sense to use some strategy. It's wasn't too long ago, attackers attempting to sink ships healed after each player. Hell, it made the crossing almost impossible at times. Thankfully, however Tynon listened and nerfed that ability so now you don't heal.

Will it be changed anytime soon? I doubt it so please take on board the advice given here and maybe your luck will improve.
