It baffles me that apparently everyone who plays TW seems to ignore that it is all math early game. It appears most people rushing to aca stops at no higher than pits 20. Pits 20 will give you and hourly income of 530 res / hour. As per your exceptional detective skills, pits level 25 will give you 1127 res / hour. Let's do the math:
So income from pits in 24 hours with level 20: 530*3*24 = 38 160
Income with pits level 25: 1127*3*24 = 81 144
Difference: 81 144 - 38 160 = 42 984
Now you are claiming a 30k scav difference. Which is less than the 43k difference from pits.
Now for the sake of it, let's look at it with the bonuses. Let's say 40% bonus (20% from premium, 20% from flags and pala)
Income with pits level 20: 38 160 * 1.4 = 53 424
Income with pits level 25: 81 144 * 1,4 = 113 602
Difference: 60 178
I don't know what else to say.
In an attempt, to defend your claim that you've haven't spent more than 3K pp, you've changed your argument... Jimkurmi has stated that similar positioned players have pits of at least the same level of yours, have scavenging more and have spent more than 3K pp.... your now arguing that your pits are higher than someone that has academy rushed, which is totally irrelevant...
As we all love a bit of maths.... we should all await the maths that prove that your lack of scavenging, when compared to someone with pits, at least as high as yours, hasn't been made up by spending PP...
Edit: Not that anyone cares how much PP you spend... it's just fun poking players ego when they make unsubstantiated claims...
Edit 2: You could always send Jimkuri your account sit and he can check your PP log to prove your claim...
