Every time I see my rank drop and drop, I feel the need to have to burn 5-10 cubes just to try and maintain rank. I have decided to try and farm at least 20 cubes today to get me around 50.

I am also torn because I have two x7 Alt cards and one x5 Robot card and I would like to finish each set. Do I go in and try to buy them through the tiers or not spend any more scratch? They are really nice cards and Silverbolt's MTM looks to now be the strongest 4 card available. Go for it man, why not? You love the game enough to spend on it so it wont be a waste, unless you cant hit any raid cards but fuck it. I spent this event got one MTM 3x, one 5x alt and one 3x alt, doin alright, went to sleep at around 2.2k, woke up at 2.9k. I might push for the 2nd tier depending on the traffic.

Yeah, no way. I just wrote about the Bee Team episode and my 50th place finish. I am not ready to sacrifice my sleep, my work and another $100-$200 to get a top 100. Plus, I am not too crazy about the rewards in this episode. I know it seems close, but the difference between my 2,600,000 points and 100th place is 2.2 million so I am only half way there. If you go for top tier, you have to decide that within the first hour of playing, not 2 days in. It would be too much, way too late I am afraid. I actually enjoy sitting towards the top of the 2nd tier, as I can go to sleep knowing I am not going to fall too far, I can actually get some work done for a change, and I can farm (or at least try to farm) cubes while sniping what I can. I am a ton less stressed than last event and I am only $20 vested.

Having said that, I wonder how much more I would have to spend to get the x7 robot and x5 Alt cards? I would spend $20 if I knew I could get both but with no guarantee, I could be out another $40-$60 before I got them. What to do, what to do. This is why trading would be cool. I have a second x7 Alt card that I would trade with someone for the robot card.

As fun as this game is most of the time, it sure does have its moments of frustration.
