Edit: I'm saying, I agree with your point in the second paragraph about inequity of outcomes. However, look at the list of rank and payment for it. Note that the winning players paid in and the T2 players nearly all didn't. If I get better prizes than you in a raid episode, it's because I spent $200 buying coins (and using a good amount of them on cubes to seed and kill), while you spent what, nothing? You can't be king of the hill if you don't do what it takes to be there. And it was clear to me from day two playing that those who spend get the prizes and those who mooch off of Mobage (from Mobage's perspective) shouldn't have access to them. The inequity in the system is their creation. The fact that I avail myself of it is a good portion of why I have twelve T1 finishes. That is a much different issue though. I could never take a T1 spot from you by sniping your seeds and not pay. And if I did pay, well then I would no longer be a T2 player strategy wise, I would be a T1 player, so the roles are now flipped.

I don't think investment comes into the general play of things, i.e. with random players at large, but yes you can enforce that in your own ally list.

I don't necessarily want to be king of the hill, I am just maximizing my resources, including any inequities. The fact that my resources are free or less than yours is not that relevant.

My goal is not to T1 for free, but T2 and get as many of the x5 raids as possible since they are good for my deck Rubies is the key to that.
