Not one of them would be one of these Level 1 clowns that shouldn't even be eligible for the damned event!!! You are correct, however, and this is actually quite sad, I remember seeing a LOT of people on FB who asked these sort of questions, " I have a friend who joined TFL recently and he added me as his ally with his brand new account, why did I not recieve my Skylinx?"

This tells me that a lot of people simply dont read the instruction fully or carefully. Sometimes they made the mistake of creating 1 or 2 new accounts and adding each other, other times they would create several new accounts say even 30, but not level them up to lvl 8s.

Another point to note is that skylinx isnt the only reason people create lvl 1 alts. We have made several in this event itself, for scouting teams, event rules, team joining experiments, etc. I myself have created about 20 new lvl 1 scouts this event alone. So has a lot of people I know.

And during raids sum people create throwaway lvl 1 alts in order to feed their main accounts rubies. much simpler than farming up an alt for ages till he has enuf BCs to keep feeding main, just use throwaway lvl 1 accounts.
