Drop rate - gold medals give R2 and above. So you've technically got better chances to pull R4 and episode cards from gold medal (during an episode) that you do from silver medals as they include R1 clutter.

Early bosses don't award gold medals for participation or co-op, so you need to wait till the latter half of the event to start seeing the bosses that award gold medals.

L8 bosses - low rank players won't seed any L8 bosses. That is the role of the strong players/strong spenders who are setting the pace. Generally the top 150-200 players will be the ones releasing the L8 bosses into the system, as they are the only players that can take a decent chunk out of them on the first attack. You'll need to liaise with members on this forum to add as allies, as well as try to add some allies from the higher ranked players you see on the leaderboard. The more active players you have, the more chance you will have to see better bosses from their help requests, and subsequently the higher rank you get the more inclined other players will be to add you as an ally. The only way to seed the L8 yourself is to spend some bucks on episode cards and be in the top 200.
