No. Just no.

Sorry but you are wrong here. The stripping LOWERS the price for the reasons I JUST STATED. The timing factor may have a very small effect, but lets be real it's still not even CLOSE to how long it takes for a Raid Battle, so that point is irrelevant. The fact is, with stripping you get more wins, less losses, and less gems needed. You have the ABILITY to CHOOSE to spend more gems if you want, but to hit minimum's, it makes it cheaper. There is no debate to that fact.

Now with the new scoring system, we will see. I am not a "fan" of stripping, but deem it necessary. I hope they did do something to counter it. Stripping doesn't lower the price for the TWO reasons i stated.

1) The amount of time goes from 15 sec a battle to nearly 30 seconds +-

2) People with lower gear will only be able to gem in limited amounts. Since they will be earning far, far less points, the overall bar drops significantly. You'd be shocked at how many terribly geared people are getting 100k+ on a T10/T25 run. They would get no more than 10-15k if they couldn't kill a naked guy.

If you want to see what it would be like without stripping, look at the cost to get T10/T25 for criminal legacy the last 2 three day wars since hardly any guilds are doing that over there (yet). You'll be shocked.
