What about the variable of how much more powerful the R6 is to the R5? That aspect of the game changed too, the upgrade cost is part of that balance.

What is the answer to the total balancing issue? With a desired reduced cost, how are we balancing the extreme power? Or the resources saved by having them? Be careful what you wish for, when they suddenly increase the Boss HP or attack power to do exactly what you are asking for here, we will all cry.

Yep. This highlights the original discussion we had with the first R6. I consider the game irreparably broken. Regular PvP is impossible and hasn't been seen since. Financially they can't just get rid of the other formats too, but they haven't bothered to properly balance them across all tiers. They know they can't adjust hp to the point it balances the R6 because it screws over everyone else. So suddenly R5 hp has jumped 40-80 thousand after one event. R5s are being buffed, wreaking R6s... Which will just be buffed again. I haven't monitored R4 levels. We're not headed in a good direction. They can't just keep cranking up numbers... But that's all they do and we all know that.
