Hey, i thought i would add some thoughts to this topic, especially since some things are bugging me for some time now ~
First of all, the problems im facing:
-
the 166+ wall
When im participating in PvP-Event, it always starts the same. I get enemies at about level 94, sometimes a few level more or less. I can beat those quite fairly, my highest Characters are about lvl 100-130, so i will win most of those fights, but i also take a decent amount of damage sometimes, it is entertaining and rewarding. As soon as i reach the score of 600, this changes to the well-known 166-inferno. All, i mean literally, all enemies i can find are 166, some even higher due to being buffed for that event or the hilarious 4*-wolverine-people with too much money in their pockets. No way to beat those, no point in fighting those. i MIGHT be able to win a single fight, but i will need all my health packs afterwards and i will also have used boosts. -
The punching bag
After reaching a score of 600, im also earning a lot of attention and get attacked by the 166±players in a hilarious speed. After i finish a single match, i get notifies of having lost 70-90 points mostly.There is no way to retaliate against them. -
The Stagnation
Being not able to reach the useful rewards due to 1) and 2), there is no way to rise up and go even witht hose people (unless i win the lottery and send my winnings to Marvel).
My ideas on a solution:
A) Groups
At the beginning of an event, it is quite okay to fight people who are a bit lower than myself, But a rising challenge is what should follow. If the system would group player by their Characters, they would fight on even grounds. So after a few won matches, the enemy pool should get stronger, but it should not jump to the maximum. A limit at “your highest level character +15 level” would be a fitting challenge. It would also encourage people to buy more healthpacks 
since there is a chance to beat these people.
B) Invisibility
I dont mind being attacked by people i at least have a chance to retaliate against, so similar as in my suggestion at A), it would be a far more interesting challenge if only people at my rank and slightly higher/lower could challenge me. Being invisible/grouped away from the 166+ group equals a lot more fun than being farmed and trashed like a punching bag.
Just my two cents on this issue. I think it would be more enjoyable to all players while still encouraging them to spent money on this game. I can spent 20 bucks from time to time, but seeing the 166+deathwall, i would need a whole lot more to be able to keep up, so it is more discouraging to invest right now.
thanks for reading :]
