Long-time lurker, first-time poster. As a free player (name = uhyeahsure) firmly in Tier 3 (around 2240 right now, with about 58 bc's left from the 140 I started with this event, DP just under 12k with MTM Raid Vortex), I will say that the rank movement down here is much slower than previous events, though even with just over 3,000,000 I don't feel safe just yet for a T3 finish. Seeds for the Lvl 8's were much more prevalent last night than they have been today. I agree with the poster above that the big seeds today have dropped with the MVP already sewn up, and they often only sit for a few minutes before the seeder finishes off their own boss. For me to move up today, I had to drop the cubes on any Cliffjumpers and higher that popped up without MVP already gone.

All of this is good and bad, depending on your goals. For those of you putting in both time and money, finishing T1 or T2 is going to be much tougher, as you all seem to be finishing your own bosses more to avoid helping out the snipers and taggers also fighting for T1 or T2. From Mobage's standpoint, you better put up the dough for those full raid sets and extra BC's. For those of us playing free, fewer seeds trickling down means as long as I've been playing consistently for the whole event (using my time-drop cubes, killing a LOT of one cube cost bosses), I have to worry less at this point about 700 other free players making an eleventh hour march to put me out of T3. However, I'm going to have to farm the next two events to get back into shape for another quality run down the road now.
