For me, I feel that there is nothing wrong with FAW or LAW infrequently being a 700%/800% salvo or a 10 hit multihit card. Occasionally having free cards like these be equal in power to what would normally be a cash card is a good thing to motivate people during those events. At the same time though, they can't have such cards appearing frequently or all the time, otherwise people wouldn't bother spending cash to summon cards that carry such power, they'd just go after FAW and LAW all day long.

The William thing is a rather unusual gimmick that they've come up with in this EH, and we don't know if they'll do this for every event from here on, or if this is just a one time thing. I would agree with the notion that beginners shouldn't be overly concerned with ranking. Ranking is for those who have completed just about everything.

For the non-beginners who feel that this William gimmick is intended to force them to use tons of cash to catch up with Hiraga/HH/Gilgamesh users, what I would say is, no one is forcing you to use cash to catch up to them. Even if this William gimmick didn't exist, for the most part, you most likely still wouldn't be able to catch up to them. Yes this Willliam gimmick does make a big gap bigger, but even without it, there would still have been a gap that you would likely need to use cash to bridge anyway, the gimmick doesn't create a gap where there was none before. The points tally for rank 300 right now isn't all that far away from what it was for the previous event. The part of the ranking board that is inflating like nuts now is the top 100, which consists mostly of people who don't need a William gimmick to hit top 100 to begin with. So if you feel the urge to bridge a gap that was always there from the start, use cash, if you don't want to bridge it, don't use cash. I was lucky enough to get 2 GUR Hiraga, but that's still enough for just 1 EH team out of 4. I was desperate to get rank 300 at that same event to get GUR Azoth. I had to bridge a gap to keep up with other users who likely had points boosters, HH, or Gilgamesh from events that at that point had occurred relatively recently, and possibly had enough to make 2-3 teams. I wanted it bad enough that I spent over $100 on shoes, swords and keys. No one forced me to, I only just wanted to. Likewise, no one is forcing you to spend cash to bridge a gap just because of a William gimmick, it's whether you want to or not.
