Unjust Fighting Penalties? (in General)

My character Jeso (186) is fighting characters of (250+) and getting a penalty of 60%!? Or a reward of -60%, however you want to word it.

I thought if I fought higher I get a bonus.. not a penalty..

If I hit the rest button and let the computer pick my opponent which is normally 4 above my score/pr whatever it's called.. I get an even bigger penalty..

In order to fight with no penalty I'd have to fight like (500+) which is impossible to beat.. for me..

Any reason to this people? Thanks in advance for your help.

It is your PR not score vs their score.

And your first minion with all that hp and dex with only 20 strength is doing nothing really for you.

Make it a tank and train HP/ST/DX equally for a while or make it an enchanter using AMF or DM.

it is VERY easy to keep your score low if it is your score that matters. you just have to NEVER fight up.
