Ranking last event was unintentional. It took way too many kills to get Santa Oracle. Once I got it, it took all of 2mil just to stay up there. I do 2mil in my sleep. IN fact, I was trying to get down to the 50-100 bucket and found that hard. Now you know people aren't ranking when you struggle to go DOWN the rank.

Stocking Master is a meh card. Didn't want it. Got it, it will likely never be used. Unless I feel like destroying and pair her up with Prometheus and William. Cards like her are why I wish this game had trading, even if limited to just one-time trades of equal rarity or something. I'd gladly trade my HUR Stocking Master for a HUR Baton Twirler for example, why because I prefer that art AND it's a stronger buff.

With all of the FAWTs who were boycotting the game since Nubee yanked the free BP FAW, there were a lot less people actually doing enough TO rank. That one guy that got over 240mil in one day did the most of everyone. Outside of him it was like 50-60-70 mil, which is extremely low when you compare that to previous events.

Anyway, another person gets my point. The rank rewards are garbage and have been for a while. They should be superior or equal to summon cards. Otherwise what's the point of ranking? It should be either (A) take a risk, pay cash and get a super card, or (B) bust your tail without paying a dime (Presumably, from the posts here) and earn a super card.

People are complaining about the game "dying". I think that's a bit much. But for those that bust their tail to get up in the high ranks only to get a card like Antigone that is surpassed by the free drop and destroyed by the summon drops, can you blame certain people for getting ticked off?

SO I've got two points. One, without free BP FAW, you're cashing to rank going forward. Maybe people are stockpiling, but I say they're the minority. Two, if people weren't cashing, they wouldn't get so pissed off at the rank reward card being less than awesome when free players are running around with dominant cards off of free Premium Summon tickets. Because it DOES happen.
