That all sounds fairly believable. So in this model, battle cubes become way less valuable than energon.

An observation: previous event snipers (rather than seeders) will start out with a chunky energon balance because that strategy means not many energon cubes are expended (but usually farmed at the start of an event). I suspect most tier 2 players who have played the last few events will start out with a healthy balance of energon built up via those events.
