No way people are just going by energon gain rate. I stopped burning recharges early today and just went into farm mode and I've dropped almost 100 places. People are still burning resources, though I imagine many are just trying to get a Grimlock or three rather than actually trying to enter T1. I would say it is a mix, but closer to not using at all. Chaining an H10 gets you almost half a million for the whole run. 5 hours for that is around 100K/hour, ballpark. AT FULL energon burn, you can do a full run in 10 minutes. 3 million points per hour. 240K is MUCH closer to 100K than 3 million. so they are burning a bit but not that much Only enough to triple the free energon, so one run every hour 20 minutes. AT the end, they will burn non stop, and it will be the 3 million per hour rate.

This also does not include the free energon at level up with is every 3.3 runs or so, which helps my argument even more.

So the limiting resource is not energon (which is farmed in previous events), but chains. I suspect they are conserving them till the end and only using them here and there. I see people talking of having many fully MEM'd Thundercrackers. They did not do that with nets...
