If this game wasn't an enormous time sink before, it's 50x worse now. You can't just sit back and keep an eye on things, play a few minutes here and there; you have to be actively playing in order to accumulate points & rewards. Anyone who works a regular old job is now at an even bigger disadvantage than before. It's all about grinding, grinding, grinding. And of course it's reinforced with the "replay the entire campaign to take a shot at the boss" mechanic.

Bah. No way this event can last for 6 days. I'm already partway into the Hard campaign and I only played for maybe 3 hours total, and I just can't be bothered to sink in hours & hours doing this over & over.

One thing I figured out: you get an Energon Net for defeating Uncommon foes, but you do not get a Net for beating Rare foes (or higher, I presume).
