Likes:

* Awesome job guys. Again lots of Wikia members in T1. Face it -- y'all a hardcore bunch of addicts. Eric, Ender, GoC, Pinoy, Broadman, BladeRy, Mono, Masa, Kirk. Saw Anthony and Irongrid pretty close to T1 too.

* Levelled playing field for farming. Everyone can farm similarly now once you have a 1st day 1 cube deck. Alt farmers don't have an advantage aymore. They get 2 GM for the 15 pt and 45 pt bosses, but not worth the effort.

* First consecutive triple T1 across all three event types.

* One of my unrealistic retirement goals was 10K BCs farmed. I knew it would be impossible, so I can keep playing. LOL. Not anymore.

Dislikes:

<p style="text-align:left;">* DeNa does not seem to have a clue on balance. Most T1 players would have farmed 10s of thousands of BCs. Where's the balance in that? Next step will be to toughen bosses for this vicious cycle to continue. Extended BC rewards to enable farming should have been only for day 1. It is a joke to offer the heavy hitters this many BCs.

<p style="text-align:left;">* Hated the pace of this episode. It was non-stop tapping. I recall going to sleep at rank #38 on day 1 and waking up 6 hours later at #173. Same happened on Day 2. Then I decided to just crank it to top 10 and keep it up there. This is not a sustainable pace. Not sure how you guys will keep doing this.

<p style="text-align:left;">* Realized how much I hated the tap tap tap this time around. Raid felt just like a tough 6 day where you are carrying non-contributing random players. Playing each day felt more like a chore and had no excitement in it. Heck when you are not interested in retrieving medals or chips.. that really says something.

<p style="text-align:left;">* Fingers were so cramped that I was 3 cubing even the easy bosses because I wouldn't have to move my thumb too much.

<p style="text-align:left;">* Didn't know it was TvT pre-reg next.. so lost all the medals before I could use them for upgrading. Gr... Oh well.

<p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:0px!important;">* This is it. RETIREMENT IS FINALLY HERE. I've played for just 6 months, but feels like it was 3 times that. I had a great time playing with all of you. You guys are really the best with all the motivation and hilarity during these events. Some of the best times in this game was when playing with Team Wikia. Namely: "Autonomy Lesson" with 1911 & SkeletaurPrime (not around anymore?). Tons of fun and some crazy hard opponents and mad strategizing we were up to. Can't forget that 22 hr day 6 against cucu and team. "Enter the Light" with Ender, Pinoy2c, AnthonyDucre and WSK. 3rd day join. Had a crazy fun time. The joke that was facing a D5 team while we were on our D3 and finally 70M vs 200K on D6. LOL. The chatter was off the charts.

<p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:0px!important;">* Shout outs to cpr1200r, X123, Eric, Broadman, BladeRy, Tez, Disc, and SS also for all the good times in chat. Too bad we couldn't catch a team together.

<p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:0px!important;">* Best of luck to GoC in life post TFL! Words can't quantify the amount you have done for the TFL community brother.

<p style="text-align:left;margin-bottom:0px!important;">* For those starting out just now, there's tons of helpful info to read up here and at tflunited. In addition add me on fb @ wraith TFL if you want to pick my brain too. Though relevancy will diminish quickly as DeNa changes dynamics up event-to-event :) Before you invest yourselves too much, consider whether you have the time and what else you are sacrificing for that time. That's all this game is -- a time sink.
