Um, how is this different from the normal events? Normal events are also pay to win in that you pay for your X7's and BCs in order to have a chance at getting a good ranking and some nice stuff. Fact is, if you want the very best, you have to fork out hundreds to make sure you're in the T1 bracket.

In this event, if you want a good reward, all you need to fork out is a mere 400 coins for 2 chains so you can complete SW. Just that gets you a solid card. It's far, far less pay to win than the previous format.

But then again, that is dependent on your definition of win. If win to you means placing in T1 and only that, then this event is as pay to win as others. You fork out hundreds for those, fork out hundreds for this. No difference here. BUT if your definition of win is seeing your effort and time invested in this game reward you with a good card, then congratulations, chances are you will win because you can get that SW. Might have to fork out like 10 bucks on the chains but that's still a steal. And I think most T2 players will agree with me that this is really great for us.

While it isn't perfect, it sure ain't as bad as it's made out to be. Some screw-ups are to be expected considering it's something new and that this is Mobage. I hope to God they increase the nets catch ratio and that they plan out the story better so it's not SW vs SW. But those are minor details for now. They're testing a new format; cut them some slack. I don't think they plan to do away with allies but it makes sense not to bite off more than they can chew. Would have been much worse if they had tried to include allies and ended up screwing the whole thing up. Probably next time they try this format, allies will play a part. We'll have to wait and see.

Lastly, on repeating boring levels, really??? Every single event is a grindfest! You repeat taking down bosses and pressing buttons monotonously. Sometimes you press 2 cube instead of 1 cube, way to break the monotone right. No doubt it get's more exciting the last 2 days when the big boys come out but for the other 4-5 days, it is absolutely no less boring than this is. That too is something they can easily remedy when they include allies in this. Again, it comes down to giving them a chance since this is the first attempt at this format.

Anyway, I'm sorry but I can't agree with your characterization of this event. This game is designed in such a way as that the highest payers win. Can't run away from that. But this event gives those of us with far smaller pockets the chance to get something quite good in fact. As long as we are willing to put in the time, effort and about 5-10 bucks. I consider that a win.

Peace.
