And have never spent "500" on an event. I think the most I've ever dumped into any one event is 150 during my first t1 run. I also don't play every waking minute on the game. I have work and Fam.

Resource management, patience, and great allies (team work) get u there efficiently. Unless u WANT top 10 vs just getting t1, but that's a different goal which require a different strategy. Ome want top raid card for collection and deck. Again, another goal and strategy. But if the goal is simply t1....it can be done without top raids and over spending.

To me, it's sour grapes whining and complaining from players who don't understand how to maximize the game strategy based on goals. Flame all u want but it's the truth. I will admit, that my $250+ T1 finish was my most expensive, because i didn't have any science down at all, it was my 2nd or third event and i wanted galvatron and rodimus both. But at least i got 2 R5s for that cost so it wasn't a complete loss. $150 max is a good finish! you should be proud of it:)

However, i think in the grand scheme of things, paying $150 or even 80 dollars for a T1 finish is stupid. the player base has been continuous about having this not continue, but it seems like this continues nonetheless.
