I'm the one behind the previous post and want to give an update. On average it should be possible to have stats half of your level. Currently I'm at level 156 so my stats should be around 78k according to this rule of thumb. I'm pretty close with 76,8k. How did I accomplish that? First the tip above. Second is buying the right upgrades in the market. If you see one which upgrades your main stat -- you see a +xxx in green -- it is worth to buy. I was lucky to get three purple ones which upgrades also the sub stats as well. Third is buying the stats with the blue circles just left of your stats in the market. Now I see far less people with lower levels but higher stats then me. And those could have used the temporarily boosters in the market. Hope this helps...
