The requirements for breaking, and staying, in the top 100 is, at best, unrealistic. But, it is not difficult to hit T2 and stay there, with a bit of planning. Hell, I just started playing last week and I finished Darkness Pt. 1 somewhere in the 3500 range. I spent a few dollars attaining an episode thundercracker for my deck leader, but I am fairly certain that, even without dropping the $20, I could have easily hit the 5000 mark.

I did not invest 12 hours a day either. I logged in to use cubes and energon when I had time throughout the week, usually off times like elevators, bathroom breaks, waiting in line at fast food. Held all my medals until the end of the day, then I did all my space bridge and upgrade work before bed. Add it all up and it was maybe 3-5 hours a day, with the space bridge and upgrading being the big time sink.

Like the other poster mentioned, early week work seems to be key. Those one cube fights that reward one cube are just asking to be farmed, allowing you to blow through the early point levels and stockpile resources for end of the week push against harder fights. It really showed in the final days, when the lvl8 started to come out.

Unfortunately, I dislike the artwork on the episode's Outback reward, but I'm stuck with it until I farm a better autobot team leader. Such is life. lol

Darkness Pt 2, on the other hand, is annoying the hell out of me. Energon nets catch % must be some dev's sick joke. At least you get a couple chains from point rewards, so you can get a motormaster or two, no matter where you end up on the ranks.
