The gym on New Texas does indeed completely shatter the game balanceIt definitely should not come to CoC2. Every new character I make I route onto New Texas, level myself up to level 6 and spend 10-20 minutes grinding stats, never spending any of the stat points from level ups, and then I demolish Mhen'ga and Tarkus and then get bored of the character and never finish Myrellion. At least with CoC2 the extent of my brainworms is "sleep every day for Kiyoko."
