In that case, I found this episode (especially with the breakdowns) that I was 2-cubing breakdowns 6 and 7 into roughly the 45-55% range. It isn't worth the extra cube at that point to put an extra one in - you're gambling that someone will hit it before it gets knocked by someone's one cube range. Sometimes, my allies would have that in their one cube range. There's nothing I can complain about with that, I'm glad to have it go down quickly. I do however, hate when a random comes along and takes the MVP via a multi cube when I was only a couple of million points off. That is frustration with the game more than the players, since the consistency with 2-cubes is so poor.

The real problem is the ruby medals were so predicated on MVP that I spent most of my cubes dropping 2 per boss to guarantee MVP. With my base deck (no raids) I wasn't able to get over 50% with 1 cube on a dead end 4, but with 2 cube, I could drop it 80% of the time. So basically, I overspent on low level bosses by trying to ensure MVP every time to hit the bridge. It's a new way by Mobage to get cubes flowing - X1/X2, then 4x MVP, now ruby medals weighted heavily on MVP. How do you know that they multi cubed it? Even if they did, so what?

If you get 3 or 4 extra rubies for MVP, one might argue that the extra cube IS worth it. I certainly would. Yes it costs more cubes, but that is the price you have to pay, if you want the rubies, EARN them, don't beg for them from your allies.

People forget that except for maybe the top 10 players, everyone seeds for everyone else. We all need each other, so if you want MVP, take it BEFORE you seed. Don't seed and then get frustrated that someone is not psychic and knows you wanted MVP but didn't take it.

I am not going to pull my punches and avoid tagging a boss just because it might steal MVP. Don't forget that even tagging a boss costs me a cube, so it is not like I am getting stuff for free. and if that gets me MVP, I am happy to take it.
