You're correct. They're more frequent because dudes are burning cubes dropping 300M+ damage on these things trying to score MVP. Irony is they're burning more cubes than they get back, which Mobage takes as a win. Folks wasting cubes is good for cube sales.

The way they've been making changes in the last few events has been remarkably transparent. It's really just been about testing the boundaries of what we will put up with, as they try to manipulate us into spending more and more cash. They're willing to run the game into the ground in order to squeeze a few extra bucks out of each event. Notice how they brought back the guaranteed x5s, but replaced the cubes they used to include with Transmetals?

The only way to build cubes for free now is to one-cube bosses and build them thru levelling, hourly recharges, and point rewards. But even that is harder now, because they introduce tougher bosses earlier & earlier....and unless you're rocking multiple R5s, you're not downing the higher-end Wheeljacks with one cube.
