'''1.  AUB Participation Problem- Easiest thing to do if you're not happy is either withdraw from your alliance and find a more active one (there are tons of alliances out there which are much more active and will invite you in to be part of) OR '''tell your leader he seriously needs to revamp the alliance otherwise sooner or later it will a DEAD alliance. Many members when seeing other members being inactive/not logging on for days on end, also feel it is alright to be inactive themselves; and before long, you realise half of your alliance is inactive and heading towards a 'dead' state. In addition, your leader’s inactivity is proof he doesn't really care about AUB anyway and members like you that do are clearly in the wrong alliance- so should just leave, lol. It will be his loss if he doesn't do anything and the fact you've already told him is the most you can do for him as a member- so well done on that.

'''2. ' Currently in the top 10 of archwitch ranking, I can tell you that getting 3 brittle eyes per 5 witch gates is personally very normal''. I even sometimes get angry if I don't get a key from a witch gate- naming them b!tchgates when I get small/medium stones at the end instead. 10 keys are NOT enough for a Rikayu just to let you know (others that got it in that amount are quite lucky), and my first dropped at 18 keys. It's just pure luck. Your best bet is stacking up keys from daily login and witch gate for a good few days. If you can, try do intermediate over beginner since there are more chests and hence, higher chance of Rikayu dropping from box and/or coins for the panel flip. Then once you have like 20+ go spam Elemental Hall and BOOM- you should eventually get it in addition to having a possibly chance time so maybe even more than one copy from jackpot. If not, just ask your alliance to send over Leona (and if they don't/won't, then that is another reason for you to withdraw).

The reasoning that your rank is dropping is due to you making less points due to not being in area 5-1/ or people making more points, or simply because EH is a new feature and many people are doing it to awaken cards/to test the potential of this feature AND because of Rikayu's high usefulness. See Huang Long event and you’ll see what I mean- absolutely scary points needed (second UR event after witch gate introduction) but over time, as events passed by, it calmed down didn’t it? My bet is that you just secure one copy of Leona and Rikayu then stop to save your resources for upcoming events as you collect light swords and/or shoes from area rewards, duels, login rewards and AW/FAW boxes and THEN do the same for other events. Don't forget you have a daily free castle vitality regen at 22:00-23:00 AND free 50 vitality from twitter and one FULL BP regeneration from twitter also. It's not impossible to get somewhere in the game with these free resources. You don't need to be a cash player to get somewhere. Ranking nowadays is so overshadowed by FAW's so there is no need to rank unless you want to improve your RAT. Nubee is also doing ‘’repeat’ FAW events, so there is no need to get a card with the same skill as another FAW card e.g. Dainsleif and Leona- Dainsleif has more HP, so stick to Dainsleif rather than burning out your resources on v.2 Dainsleif: Leona. Unless you’ve missed Dainsleif then you have an excuse.

'''3. '''Indeed I do agree that this game is going place to place. But this is exactly what happened when the witch gate system was introduced. Many people complained about their fails on awakening and hence, something had to be done to satisfy these players- EH were introduced thus. When ranking got too hard, top 1000 was allowed the UR rank reward. I do think Nubee is listening to us, and trying their best to remain their player base. Never forget that VC is very repetitive- AUB and archwitch hunting and that’s pretty much it every two weeks/month. Nubee has to introduce new tactics to keep payers in and make their money.

I think you're a new/newer generation player right? Let me tell you I started off with N's and when I got an R card I used to think I was OP, lol. Now I have a full HUR/GUR team. All it takes is time and effort. There is no better time to play VC now tbh- every generation of players has different problems, and VC is full of them. All it takes is to find a solution around them. I hope you do find a better alliance and also, get your Rikayu and enter area 5-1 very soon. Do give VC and the new system a chance though- if we are onto the 4th/5th event with this system and you're still not satisfied, call it quits and move on to Kancolle if you'd like.
