@Tim: Those SW you netted are much stronger than the T2 reward. To make it very clear, the ranking rewards are rubbish. The real top prize is getting SW. So as a free player, that's really all you need to aim for; rankings be damned. That's why it's soo much easier for free players. The 6 day event allows you to reach H10 easily just using your normal energon recharge without needing huge stockpiles of cubes or to buy them even. The 2 free chains you get mean you just need to buy 2 more to get the SW. Or, you can try farming for SW using chains; good luck with that though.

@Blue: I completely agree with you bro. In a way. I think it shouldn't be limited to just this format but to all raid cards. Makes no sense that in last event, the guy who placed first had like 5 Jetfires MTM'd. I think all decks should be restricted to just one of the same card. Makes logical sense. There aren't 5 Jf's in the series after all. Easier to code too with less ways to circumvent it. Unfortunately, we know Mobage would never do that cos it's a cash cow they won't stop milking. And since it's not a flaw restricted to just this format of event, I don't think it's right to blame it entirely on this format. The only difference under this format is that now low spending players get access to that flaw.

The game dynamics and mechanics do need to be looked at but that's been a problem all along. Not just with this event. This event, while not the best planned or executed, does hold some promise. People should stop looking for every flaw they can find and blow it out of the sky. Give it a chance; hopefully next round it's better done and our worries are addressed.

Side note: The one thing I don't quite get is why people are so proud to say that under the normal format, they can rely on their allies to seed them into T2 while now if they want that T2, they have to pay for it. You do realise that everytime allies seed you into T2, they themselves are paying for it out of their own pockets right? Sure, it's a symbiotic relationship since they need to take bosses down to make T1 and we can contribute somewhat to that. But once they're in there and locked down, if they're still seeding to help out their allies, then it is extra expenditure on their part. This event has forced people to stand up and fight for themselves. Not to ride on the coat-tails of others. And to me, it's pretty sad that a number of people are gripping about just that. It's not that I haven't benefited from the help of Wolf, War, MD and a host of others but I don't think it's right to moan that I can't now rely on them to boost me up. And believe you me, I could really use it right now.
