I wonder what the next event will boast considering the substantial additions and boost to DP provided to T1 decks from September's events. I hope that DeNA had the foresight to plan for the gap they have created between the player base with these latest events. Previous T1 finishes makes subsequent T1 finishes easier thus most of these power cards went to T1 players... But T1 players are happy nonetheless.

Plus Autobot decks finally caught up to Decepticon decks! Yes Praxisz - it is evening out nicely for the rumored faction vs faction event.

But to your point on T1 streaking ahead, I think you are right that the gap has now widened significantly. In this event, they didn't even try to make the T2 reward decent. This was my 9th straight T2 raid event finish and Rodimus barely makes my all-T2 deck. Galvatron doesn't. They could have tried to keep T2 in touch with T1 even a little... but didn't. I believe that the split was unintentional, but R4 event rewards and raids have been split into two categories. It started with the R4 Evolve Soundwave card. Now T2 players have to weather the storm of cards that are not assisting each other while they fill both halves of the split with cards. This is forcing a T1 finish on some T2 players if they want to gain ground. And obviously all of this is compounded by the PvP events as ranks will be expanded. T1 players are getting catered to at the moment.
