you still get rods back in ABB, but you just can't stock them (bp restore when breaking panels). So yeah, you can't stock them to spend on that one event you really want anymore, a downgrade certainly but on balance they're still there.

Certainly low ranking F2P and P2W players benefited from the change; high-ranking f2p alliances tend to have lost out lost out.

The big difference comes from individual ranking pts being divorced from guild points. No longer can near-infinite 30 participant fever carry you to the top ranks/all individual point rewards just from being in a super-active AUB foced alliance. inidividuals now can achieve point goals, which have been adjusted with this in mind to be more f2p friendly. However on the flip side, Individual rankings are now soly dependant upon 1) ABB event unit 2) # of rods used. This is very bad for anyone who previously ranked well on aformentioned AUB fevers.

The UR equivalent AUB reward is now avaialble to basically all participats effective, even those of us that were locked out of it from being one of a few members in a smaller alliance, and the HUR is readily achivable with modest alliance performance.

UR mirror is locked to the top 300, effectively (top 500 if your alliance rank 1's win every. single. battle.). This is of no surprise I don't think. Mirror's have to be at least as expensive as the mean cost to get any given UR event unit, and they are.

the loss of tickets is kinda bad I guess? I never saw the tickets as much of a benefit (probably becuas I never get any anyway), but a couple of PSTs are a token jesture either way, as to have a reasonable number of pulls for sucess of GUR you'd have to accumulate a ridiculous number of them.

Winning guild fights used to do everything simultanious; post your poitns, boost your alliance points, get you victory points. Winning guild fights now just give you rings, one component of a couple now needed for the UR mirror.

My thoughts? They should probably let rings carry from event to event, even if they have to cut ring distributions in half to do this.
