Just adding my two cents to this overall very intelligent conversation:

- lots of T1 players have already shot their load last event and don't have the energon/cash to compete in this competition

- many players are happy with "only" 2 or 3 MTM Grimlocks (which will be attainable by around 40mn points through rubies) and will opt not to spend cash on the extra energon and chains need to get T1 if the cutoff rises significantly above 40mn points.

- 3mn points per hour in the final 2~3 hours is realistic, however I can't see it beginning to rise at this rate as early as 6 hours before the end.

- I don't think you should double the cutoff at T-24 hours to estimate the cutoff. Consider that at T-24 hours the cutoff will be around 32~35mn points. If you double that, you get between 65~70mn points, and at the max energon burn rate of 3mn points per hour, you would barely make it if you played for 24 hours straight. I think adding 20mn points to the T-24 hour cutoff score would be a decent estimate, so I'm going to say final cutoff at 52~55mn points in the worse case scenario. If my first two points hold, it will be much less, around 45mn points.
