Yes, you can see his defenses. No, it won’t help, unless you are willing to put in countless hours to compete. It’s how the game works, and how it’s always worked. All ranks are based on time commitment, not skill. > [@Seriously? 13000+?now 25000+](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/seriously-13000/7570/13): > > @dhjl has formidable defenses, but they’re surmountable (as are everyone’s).

Not to belittle his commitment or accomplishments, but this isn’t a matter of being “great” at the game. it’s a matter of doing the time. There’s no reward in the game for being “great.” Ironically, the forum game is actually a better test of that than the game’s own metrics. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/new-job-gow-player/7576)._
