Yeah it sucks

The program searches for new requests every 20 seconds, so the request may have gone out that length of time before you even see it. A quarter of the people the request goes to are people on your ally list, whether they are online or not, and the other 75% are randoms. I dont know how the requests for the randoms are generated but it appears to be heavily regional. Im in Australia and I get a flood at mealtimes and bugger all most other times.

It also depends on your position in the event, or more likely, your deck power. You get less requests the higher you are. I have tested this on several accounts and several devices and running a low level account beside a high level one, the difference is quite significant. So it really pays to have good allies because if you are high level a good portion of your seeds are coming from them - you cant rely on the 'system' giving you enough randoms like it used to.
