Tower Events:
Totally bullshit event-type, this is some of the reasons why - written after the 1st Tower event (and hopefully the last):

* Brawl points maxes out every 3h45min, which means you gotta play every 3 hours as a posed to every 6 hours normal events. It's exhausting!

*P2w by making the G/SR event booster cards (Ridill) completely useless, with nerfed the booster skill so it no longer gives an advantage... Having superior cards (MH & Burst unleashers) will no longer help in racking in pts, since ranking is no longer determined by your gained subjugation points, but instead decided by RNG (see below).

** Crystals: All those swords we saved up through the years are useless - with the introduction of yet another item to refill Brawl Points. Sure you could buy Crystals to refill the BP - at a ridiculous price... I mean 300 Jewels for 1 crystal... come on Mynet >_>

** And what's the deal with not introducing the Light Crystals? The files are in the game already, but unavailable.

*Rank = RNG: The ranking is no longer determined by how much time & effort you spend on the game - the ranking is now 100% decided by RNG (random number generator) which decide how often you Rune Bosses to spawn & how many runes they drop, this is also the only way to collect Floor Passes in significant numbers - increasing the Floor Passes gained by a factor of x10 - giving it even larger impact than first impression give.

** Try spending 30 BPs in a row without getting a single Rune Boss and dropping 200 ranks because of it, seeing all you've worked for just turn to shit - just because of poor RNG and a retarded ranking system, see how much fun it is.

*Hourly ranking updates are unfair - especially for European player (like myself) since we are a sleep at 5AM when the event ends & thus can't defend our rank the last hours when the rest of the world are awake.

** A normal daily ranking update is fair for all, since we all get the same means to calculate how much more points we'll need to stay whitin a certain rank. And we are free to do that at any time that fits us, when we have spare time, instead of being forced to wake in the middle of the night hours before daylight to play a game on out mobile ...

*Head start for all non-Europeans: while talking about unfair advantages, why did everyone outside Europe (since yet again we were asleep) got almost equal to a full days head start - with the 15 minute BP refill the first hours of the event? It took me 10 days to even get close to T500 - at which I was well within for the rest of the event... only to be kick out of during the last hour - making the event a total failure.

*UR drops: Add to this the total randomness of the Premium Summon UR cards that the Rune Bosses can drop. I've seen people get multiple URs from the same Boss in the end literally drowning in UR cards (some way lower ranked than me, i.e. less gaming time spent), while others (reasonably high ranked) hardly get any at all...

** ... meaning all rewards from this event is determined by RNG, not by how much you apply yourself.

*Extremly low Drop rates: And while we talk about rewards: what is up with the ridiculously low drop rate of the event specific 'Serpent Slayer' & 'War Maiden Weapon' cards? From comments/talk, there must be a very small minority of players in T500 which have even got them both - and they are both needed in order to use both the Ranking Rewards 'War Goddess Dress' & 'Magatama Mirror'. One of them is completely useless without another 'True Murakumo' which couldn't be amalgamated since drop rates for the needed cards are insanely low - and once again completely determined by RNG! It's the first Ranking Reward I've gotten that's ever been useless. It's poor planing on Mynets part - and there's no excuse for it imo.

To sum it up - everything is this event is determined by 'luck': ranking pts, rewards, drops etc etc. Mynet have taken every aspect of having good cards & ability to use those cards out of the picture. They could just as well held a raffle & skiped the event all together. It might have save them some work (most of which wasn't even halfassed).
