But with the free flow of R8, does it matter anymore? Of cause it does! Time put in wasted and the reward R8s are not available else where right?!

Really feeling the drag of playing this game but it's just too darn addictive. Aargh! A few points here:

1. In fairness to DeNA, they DID give the rewards out for the last two episodes. In my weeks of fighting with them over the Full Assault rewards, I managed to get trans-scanned versions of the tier rewards. Now I'm fighting to get bot and alt cards for Bombshock [2] at the least, to the point where they've closed my request and a CS rep actually opened a new one for me in the hopes that I'll eventually get it.

2. To be honest, after examining the Cyberdex, there is only ONE T1 reward in the remaining episodes whose card outclasses the free R8s. So there's really almost no reason to T1 except for good weapons and bragging rights. And the only reason the weapons are a valid issue here is that those damned new R7 weapons are rarer than hell to pull. They're supposedly available via the Shanix weapons bridge, but I've made ~500 pulls on it and have not seen a single one. Even then, I think there are only a few that are worth it (read: critical hit) and they're ALL Autobot weapons. Grimlock's is probably the best of the bunch. Many of the Decepticon weapons are AP... much like their R8 counterparts.
