    Why on earth do you think everyone should be able to finish? There's got to be a reason to buy gold, you know.

    I did not complete last EB because it was impossoble with lot of gold. Now i think i can do it with some gold. My mini completed last EB in 1 day just for free. I like this new system without tiers. Finaly something for high lvl players. Do something for battle too. My high lvl has much lower average of IP than lower lvl player

    Forgot about SA. Do something too. New player mini doesnt need any IPH for SA.

    Agreed. However it should be possible for someone to spend gold and have a chance at winning. The majority of current and active players can not finish this event without dropping an entire vault or two. The boss should be scaled to attack stats to give everyone a more equal chance.

    I guarantee that anyone can finish by spending enough gold.

    If there is just a base strength surely the games strongest player should be able to finish for free? Which they can but I mean with like 1 hit how the lower levels used to do it not using 5/6 hits.... Few days off cc is always nice tho thanks gree for the break ����

    That is one of the most ridiculous proposals I have ever heard. What's the point of getting stronger if the game is going to stay exactly the same? And would they make building and upgrade costs fluctuate with your IPH as well?

    I bet those of you who are threatening to retire are free players or minis so it's no great loss to Gree.
    the way I look at it the epic boss was the only event you could actually complete without using gold. You have to be an extremely frequent player in order to beat it for free but now so much for that, what's the reward for logging in constantly? Free player; gold player whatever.since 2011 I've spent a ridiculous amount of gold on this game, just because I don't spend at the level that I used to doesn't mean that all my past purchases should be thrown out the window

    There are certain events that should be completed with gold and some that should be POSSIBLE to complete gold free.. And Epic boss was always one of them.

    Epic boss used to be my favorite event for that reason, but now it looks like it'll take gold just to finish the 100.. not to mention speed and legendary goals.

    This game should make you want to get stronger and lvl up. The old style eb most old players either had to spend gold or not finish while newbies and min's finished gold free and it was a walk in the park. It got to a point where people was making mini's just so they can finish eb. new free players or mini's shouldn't be able to gain higher stats than someone that has spent gold over the years. eb got to the point where it was best to be a free player and when you get to a high lvl it was best to just start over.

    Collect 10 Box Events can be completed gold-free by many.

    EB should have never been the gold-free, mini-beast-making-fest that it had become.

    Evan, your entitlement is sticking out again.

    This EB is worst, wont spend gold for sure, all the randomness and excitment of the game slowly being removed. There must be level attached to the boss health....

    Well think of the new format as a leveling of the playing field for people who have...you know.....a job, maybe?

    Fair enough, but not all jobs pay well enough so someone can drop hundreds here month on month.

    I'm not fussed about finishing every event, or chasing indy rank in war and SA, but there have to be some instances where it is possible to finish without gold whether that be random good fortune as in RB wrapper and box events, or simply by being active on the game as EB should be. Keeping players at all levels of spending (and none) engaged with the game is surely the good to good player feedback and getting new people in through recommendation from friends. On the other hand if the consensus is that the game is just a money pit, and the company will chew players up and spit them out it's the slow route to death.
