When Nubee limited EH to the second half of the event last time, I thought maybe they were trying to limit points after how crazy the rankings for Lapis got.

But I’m not so sure anymore if they’re raising points now while shortening EH availability further. Now, it kind of feels like they might just be trying to push us to use (and presumably spend on) shoes to go through bonus areas for keys (or to just buy keys). And then use swords in order to spam those keys in a shorter period of time. :-/

While I can understand why they might want to do that since the game has to be profitable to keep going, I’ve been finding it less fun lately with all the time limits on stuff even if I've been able to get by with spending maiden tickets on shoes and using free swords from drops. I’m used to grinding but prefer being able to do it in smaller doses when I feel like it. Instead of there’s only 1 EH day per element this event so if you want the awakening materials for it, you have to spam all your keys and use up a lot of swords then. And how the more recent LAWs are now taking more materials to awaken with a lower success rate makes it worse too. Plus being limited to a few days to try to get the WG cards in EH if you didn’t have luck with getting them to drop in WG itself.

I find it frustrating too because I’m usually more interested in collecting the awakening materials and WG cards and the points are just a bonus. There was only 1 event when I really wanted to try ranking in the top 300 from the beginning and while I’ve done it 2 other times, those were more grinding for awakening materials or WG cards and then seeing how far I was climbing in the rankings and going “Eh, I guess I might as well go for it” rather than a deliberate attempt to rank from the start.
