Did everyone forget the times when there were no heads up about targets, or energy totals, or god forbid prizes? When we all had to wait for others to race and post progress in a hurry? Be thankful they post it at all. Be thankful community members take the time to put walkthroughs together, and be thankful GREE has finally jumped the shark.
Unreasonable to ask all 60 members of a faction to do their fair share on a masters lvl event? No. It's masters, I would expect it and if you haven't gotten your faction upgraded far enough you shouldn't deserve it. You haven't earned it. Should it cost 5.5 MILLION energy?? Hell no!
At least now, hopefully, some will wake up from this nightmare and reclaim the lives they have lost. Did you guys notice summer is almost over?
