I have been thinking about this for about the past 4 hours and it hit me....This event was solely for the high end money players. The events moving forward will be just the same.
I understand that it was going to be a fundraising event for Gree and even went along with it. But since the event is winding down and my faction members are pretty much board because there is nothing for us to work for...i wanted to know why we didnt have anything to do.
think about it, the top 25 unit has a 3600 attack rating, which is what the next two units are worth combined. but guess what, they get those units as well. Mind you, if you are in these faction, you will probably need them more than anyone else will because you're already in the high 100's as far as levels. but here's where everyone else has been dooped.
Players in the 26-100 placed factions receive a unit that has a attack rating that is higher than the next two rewards combine+400! So to break it down, In the coming events...Gree has made their paying customers (Top 25) happy by giving them "fresh meat" by allowing them to attack lower leveled players in factions that they normally wouldn't be able to. They made the moderate spenders (top 100) happy by awarding them units no one out the top 100 can beat them with. And they pissed on everyone else. The units awarded to factions 101-999 will only beat the majority of lowered ranked players which most of us can't fight anyway because of their level. and get this, they were even smart enough to make that range so large, it covers more than 3/4 the active players! So when you go to fight someone, you have a 9 out of 10 chance of playing someone with the SAME EXACT UNIT AS YOU! Not to mention the top 100 have it as well! 999 factions at a minimum of 20 members is 20,000 players that will off set each other in PVP. 20,000 vs the elite 2,100!!! We've all been had. We wasted countless hours this weekend fighting for something that turns out to be nothing in the end. Gree knew they were canceling everything out, that's why they made the range so wide. Again, top 25 factions have 5 different rewards, that's 1 for every 5 places practically. From 101-999 HAS 2! 1 for every 500!
To add on to other issues:
*Android not up and running until 6 hours into the event
*The terrible matchmaking the first day
Leader board not working so you thought your faction was close to a certian position and you spent gold.
*Missing points
I've had a lot of fun this weekend "hanging out" with my team mates and I actually think this was a fun event. i look forward to the next one actually...just wanted everyone to know that if you're not going to spend money, don't put false hope into getting units that will cancel each other out in battle. they are nice, but if everyone has one, it's just another "common"
