Final Rank: 80 Final Score: Can't remember, 150M+

Deck Power (Pre/Begining/End/Post): ?/90 something K/38K

Money Spent (and currency): 0

Coins Spent: 250. I was still using the free MobaCoin that Mobage gave out a month or so ago.

Battle Cubes: 500-600

Energon Cubes: Used about 600 after farming 700 on day 1

Ruby Pulls: Enough for a full deck of MTM Breakdowns and 4 of his weapons.

Medals: Over 15k, not a single raid card out of it.

Liked: My first T1.

Disliked: My first T1.

Other:  I knew it took a lot of time to finish in T1, but I never realized HOW much time it took. Lots and lots of tapping for hours on end. Starting Monday I began to worry that I wouldn't have enough EC to finish the event so I started sniping every hour or so to keep up my rank and not waste EC. About 2pm on Tuesday things started to really move along and I couldn't play fast enough to stay with the pace.

Having a real job (other than playing TFL), it's difficult to find the time to play to keep up with all of the people going for T1. I can't sit at my desk and tap away on a phone or iPad so I have to use Genymotion so it looks like I'm working ;-)  Unfortunately, Genymotion isn't as fast as an iPad so it really hampers the amount of points you can maintain.  I also need to figure out a good method for rationing my EC that I build up after the first day so I'm not in the same position again.  I may need to farm the next few events and then make another run for T1.

I was really starting to worry Tuesday night as I leave work at 5PM EST and have an hour commute home where I can't play. I left the office at positino 70. By the time I got home I had dropped to 100 exactly. The last hour was spent furiously tapping away trying to climb back up in the ranks. The biggest frustration I had was when I accepted a help request, but the boss died before I had a chance to chip in. On the screen where it says that the boss has been defeated, there are the two buttons (cancel and continue?), and when you dismiss the notification, the back arrow in the top right doesn't work some of the time. The game hangs and you have to restart. That took precious time away from being able to play.

As a regular T2 player, the amount of time required to finish T1 is triple what it takes me to finish T2. I see some on this board who regularly finish T1 and realize they either have way more time than I do, a way faster device than I do, or more money to spend than I do. Overall I'm happy.

Oh, and with the 350 MobaCoin I spent, I did the weapon SB on two different days. Both days I ended up with WildRiders weapon. A nice addition to my decepticon deck.
