Kalatron, I disagree. Although you may be correct to a certain degree, there has to be more to it. I have upgraded my gear, got the new stats, refreshed and had same stats. Then logged off came back and had same stats, refreshed again and stats have dropped. I think when I pay the gems during upgrades to gear (to save from the 3 lvl drop) the game gives me the correct stats. Then if I log off the game deducts the 3 lvls saved from gems and drops my stats accordingly. This has happened to me many times. I estimate at least 5 million power in power loss due to this glitch. And if you are correct WHY hasn't Tynon corrected it? There are enough glitches and cheaters in this game already and the players do not need the frustration from thinking that Tynon is robbing them added on.
