I totally agree.  This "sim city" part of this game gets boring at way too low a level.  Increasing the building levels would help that a lot.  This game is slowly dying and it needs some new juice.  I'm dead serious here.  I love this game but there are less and less real players.  It is crazy there are only a handful of teams at each level.  And you would attract more people if the prices weren't so steep; quantity of players is seriously important.  Kill dead teams.  If they haven't logged on in 3 months, delete them.  Lots of changes necessary.
