I think mobage is making a push to force free players to pay even further by using the following steps:

1.  reducing the reward rankings requirements

2.  lengthening the time period the event lasts

3.  Bringing out the big bosses earlier

these steps force the spending of more cubes at the least and encourages the "pay to rank" agenda even further. I rather easily made it into the second tier last event using about 100 cubes and spending no money. This event, to get to the 1000 ranking is already well over 2 mil. Although I am currently ranked 777, I don't think the 100 cubes I have left will be enough to maintain it to last 3 more days. ugh.
