Once I got dropshot, my DP started to crawl up. took ages for me to break t2. as a free player, you have to start off tagging to get into it. I've finished T3 in almost every other prior to the jazz event. so my DP was around 10-11k. This is enough to get you to T2. just needs more time hitting stuff.. takes a lot of time too. Now my DP is about 13k, I can break t2 easily. Unless you have been super lucky by pulling raid cards via episode card draws there is no way you are telling the truth. Run the math and look at the other posts. T2 always takes at least 6M points to safely achieve. There is no way someone can play with the amount of free battle cubes provided and acquire enough points even via sniping and only contributing one cube on 50k bosses to reach the threshold needed (OK, maybe once after farming for 3+ episodes [600 BC at least] but then you would be dried up again for the next episode). For instance, how was this true two episodes ago when the majority of ally requests were going only to one player prior to the fix? How did you manage to play for free last event and acquire enough boss capture points via the free nets catches? (I burned through >100 energon refills prior giving up on the new style event; in part because the rewards were horrible.  I already had an elite SW MTM'd from prior paid raid card draw attempts.) What big boss pulling ally is going to keep a small fry that is constantly only contributing ~10k on a 200M+ boss? I admit to paying over $200 an episode in earlier events and having fun via the competition aspect (missed the years of sports cards collecting and too old for pokemon/dragon ball z phase when those became popular, so for me this was a nice throwback as an adult.)  Previous events were much closer in ranking, particularly early on when we thought a half reward may one day receive his missing alt mode at some later point in the game's series and we also wanted the highest power weapon we could receive even if it didn't character match {megatron's stayed with me for a while :-)}.  The amount of time sucked into this 'game' alone disqualifies any normal free player from hitting above T4.  My deck is entirely made of T2 cards and a couple former x7 mtm raid cards in the third row (I have enough T2 cards with matching weapons to guild faction bonus both A and D but I tweak the deck based on hp). My normal DP is barely under 14k and I can one cube for 20k before the 5k+ point reward bosses come out then it drops to ~15k. I stopped buying raid cards when event Full Assult started because this 'game' just got old. This episode I did happen to pull via the rewards a Vortex weapon which was the only reason I bothered to go for 2M. Heck maybe after 14 events (started Robots in the Sky) I still have not figured out your awesome free strategy. For me the game got old and there is no way a free player will make past T3. Sitting on 80 paid currency credits, >6M in credits, 406 energon refills and 380 in bc, over >1.5k in gold medals, >2k in gold weapons medals (because lets face it having to switch screens to constantly sell got old quick and who wants to dump previously paid and hard earned cards?)  As a thank you to all my former allies I am finishing off their already significantly tackled lvl 8s and then I am done.
