^Yep, I second that. Was gonna burst into an essay but saw that it's already been done ^^

btw, @Original Person, you don't have to wait until this AUB is over, you can join and leave an alliance any time (however, there is a 24hr cooldown in betwen). There are many alliances out there looking for members, I'm sure they're willing to give you a spot.

VC is a good game, in fact it's much easier to rank now than it wouldve been a long time ago as nubee has added the claim first 10 subjugation reward, claim all in presents box and the various filters in the presents box. Back then, you have to open each one by hand and claim them one by one. Anon here is right. When WG came out everybody was like "its so annoying", "im trying to find LE and all i get is WG", "awakening is so hard", "its close to impossible to awaken a HUR card" and whatnot. Then, when cards like Santa Oracle and Huang Long came along they were all like AIGHOFGHFF AWAKENING GIVES A NEW AND BETTER SKILL MUST HAVE!!11111 and then people complained about how you can never get past AW cards from WG (the chances were very slim) and they added the WG completion rewards granting most players with Oracle Ascendant. Now, I'm pretty sure no one really complains about the WG anymore. The EH is just a new feature, will take getting used to. Very easy to earn points. I myself have spent 10+ keys so far- no rikayu in sight (now i've saved up 35 and planning to use em on the 24th). Patience my friend, patience

VC is a game meant to be played for a long time. I've played for over a year now and well, i started off with rose knight being my strongest card. And then it was cyborg. And then the Kiyohime event came along granting me my first H/UR. then i waited and i waited and due to irl things, i missed the next two UR events. and i played casually. Then, Christmas came along and i got Santa Oracle (who i still havent awakened =.=) and then all the events following that had URs. So you see my friend, you probably joined at a good time, you have a chance at getting a UR every event. Of course, it is expected that you don't complete your first few (unless you're a hardcore casher). back then SR was the best thing you could get unless you're casher or SUPER lucky.

I say you find a good alliance first. The people there can help you, guide you and there are many benefits from an alliance. You can also send them your F/AW and when you grow stronger, trade F/AW with them. If you're planning to be a free player then if you want to rank, you have to save resources. Don't burn all those swords every event, save them up.
