From what I could tell in the last event, help requests go out to those nearby you in rank and not to allies. Allies don't do anything right now. I agree that they should and might be thinking about changing that but...

In terms of the original post's question Phaustus242 is correct. Time the leveling to get you free cubes instead of using Battle Cube (BC) recharges and you net BCs during events. Most use energon cubes gained from bosses to do this later in the event when you need more cubes to kill things. You can GAIN BCs during events playing this way. Resource management is key to not having to spend money on BCs.
