i think a lot of new players are contributing to this event (being allowed to join in the event at level 2 probably had a lot to do with that), leaving many upper level bosses help requests being spread out among a greater pool of players. As for why so many high pay-out bosses are escaping, mid-range players (ones who can hit for about 10m-20m) are frustrated that the only contributions are hitting around 2m-5m, and dont want to spend the cubes to finish their battles; also, top level players (ones hitting around 40m+) aren't offering up as many help requests, opting to take down their own finds, at least to ensure they get the mvp bonus, rather than risk a help request to an equally powerful player who could potentially usurp the mvp bonus. As for a strategy to lessen the risk of wasting a cube, i try to only gamble on the biggest payouts (both point wise & medal wise); otherwise i am just trying to pick off anything i can finish without losing a cube, & monitoring swoops & above for actual movement, as well as how much the top two hitters have done to the boss, before committing a cube.
