It seems like Mobage wore everyone out with all the early bosses yesterday, no one is fighting and finishing them off today. Either that or everyone is hoarding their remaining cubes for Friday :)

There is always a lull with the introduction of the first level 6 bosses. In fact, there's usually a lull when the level 5 version of boss #4 hits. Why? Because that's generally the first boss that nobody can one-cube. This time they got a big push due to the surprise of adding Megatron to the mix. All those folks trying to play catch-up made for Level 5 Megatrons that dropped super fast.

Now we're into the bosses that nobody can drop, even with a 3-cube shot. Moreover, an MVP on Rumble today is only worth 1000 points more than a simple tag on Megatron on Friday. Like many folks, I'll snipe today, but I don't see the point in touching a Megatron or Starscream unless it's an obvious finisher. And while I don't mind dropping a cube to snag an MVP on a level 6, losing a cube for anything less than 50k right now is a waste.

That's why it's slow. The main activity right now is from folks desperately tagging bosses to jockey for rank. Everyone else is conserving cubes and trying to keep pace by sniping before the big push coming up later in the week. I expect that there will be people doing some BIG spending on Friday.
