I like the comments above from the contributor that talked about moving up with their deck. That's the basics of how it works and also how much time you spend on it. I could spend hours a day on it too and spend a ton of money on it, but I haven't spent any on it. I've recieved cards in the two events since I started playing it, and my deck has progressed well, but could still improve. I think that the chances of pulling the more powerful cards needs to be consitent like 1 super rare per 1000 gold medals or something like that. I've pulled some super rares, but the only one that's been beneficial is Slipscream which I got the other form from points in the fatal furies event. Of course I'd love to get Omega Supreme because he was my favorite toy growing up, but I'm not going to spend $100 for that. Maybe they'll do something with re-releases later on, but things are going ok by my perspective. And as to the rewards system, I think that the only thing that they didn't realize is how useless the weapon medals are in this event. I have had 500+ at times and that's after upgrading about 12 weapons to max level. Yeah, if I get a few after the event it'll be useful, but right now, I'm just selling them off to pay for upgrading my characters. I did like the transmetals though. That was a nice change to use 2 transmetals and upgrade a character by 20 levels for 1000 instead of like 15 cards for 6000.

One thing to consider is that with each event, more cards are introduced that are better than the Elite R4s. So imagine the joy that follows when you get that R4 Elite Soundwave or R4 Elite Prowl only to realize that his stats aren't even good enough to make him worth putting into your deck, even MTM and with his signature weapon at max level.
