Some great thoughts here all round.

GoC, did you have any daily win prizes from team PvP even though you never joined? This confirms 100% that issue of team creation.

I think we are forgetting.. The SD bug has been fixed on Android. The SD bug has ALWAYS been there on iOS, I've always experienced it and had to overcome it by randomly deleting an app on my ipad/iphone, I've had to do this for the past 6 months or whatever. The amount of people who can't participate has never bothered them before, and you can see from the team PvP event that plenty of people participated and PAID money. People are talking like the access bugs are affecting the vast majority of players, but we can see from the team pvp rankings that this is not the case, it's a tiny minority, and now only on iOS (which is a big group, but not everyone is experiencing it, and it can be fixed in the majority of cases).

You can't justify it financially, it makes no sense. No event means absolutely $0. $0 for the week vs the tens of thousands they pulled this week with 'limited' access.. we know how the company operates, they'll go for any short term cash grab that they can. But it's not even that, it's just business as usual. Weekly running costs need to be met and they need to at least have the chance to make money. Fairness has never factored into things for them before and the login problems have always existed, they didn't care last time I had it.

If there were no R6s and this event was just R5s, it wouldn't make any sense to postpone an event, there's nothing that wasn't already there, and that hasn't already been there for a long, long time. Why choose now?

They don't pre-empt issues. They tighten the screws on players as much as possible, to see what people will accept or don't accept and adjust accordingly, if they get away with it they win, if not (like the campaign lack of bc issue), they just say 'oops' and relax it to the minimum possible. Other F2P games do this too, just have a look at EA, constantly rising ingame costs and increased wait timers every couple of weeks.

Pator, about the strength, it is about 100% stronger, or even far more so. Necrotitan with weapon is over 2mil atk and hp and 100k def as a leader. Plus people have Orion Pax and Starscream, and the ability to just buy them repeatedly. It's different from when R5's were introduced because of such a massive jump in the numbers. I saw a deck with two necrotitans and the other R6's.. deck power was over 30k, and it's actually even more than because of the massive hp boost and defense, the damage potential is astronomic, that's without raid bonuses because necrotitan was in the deck.
