Exponential effect from fighting up with weapons? (in General)

The higher you fight, the more money you receive in rewards from fights you win.

The more money you get, the more you can pump your linear weapon 'X'.

The larger your weapon, the more damage you do, the higher up you can fight.

Is this cycle only stopped by diminshing minion numbers in the upper ranks?

Is seems that DD teams just can't grow as fast as tanks, for there is no way to use money to increase your damage.

What is the limiting factor? Tanks get linear damage, and can use cash rewards to effect this.

PR

As Jon said, "Welcome to tankblender. :) "

There is another downside to this mind, the bigger the weapon the more chance of it going over your weapon allowance, thus affecting your pr, leading to...lower rewards!

Remember that mages and that xp based tank UC guy can wear the bonus to weapon items that add very little to PR and do the same fighting up, raising their XP rewards. Admittedly the boost is wholly dependent on fighting - no unnatural boosting. And a mage can save money to spend on buying BA. Most people here can't afford to run a tank team and buy BA......

OK, but WA reduces the effect PR increases on weapons have.

Plus, the biggest weapons have the smallest PR increases, needing the smallest NW to upgrade.
