There are 300,000 total earnable points, so yes you can reach the top milestone, even if you miss a few.

Why do you make everything p2w?

I wouldn't call it pay to win. Sure, spending could be a tie breaker for points, but if you don't do everything, especially Raids, no amount of spending is going to catch you up.

Well, technically speaking $24,000 USD might catch you up. But even among the mega whales I suspect the number of people who will actually do that is very close to zero.

Since about a third of the realm points are in Raids, and my alliance doesn't do raids (much less Nightmare Raids which seems to be required to cap out the milestones) I'm basically out of it. But the event is still giving me a ton of rewards for basically just playing the game more or less as I normally do, so I can't be too upset. I find it ... odd that there's so much emphasis on Raids given their presumptive optional nature - and the fact they are tied to alliances, meaning individual players cannot simply choose to do them just for the event - but I suppose Kabam has its reasons there.

There are ranked rewards, which will be unobtainable unless you pay
I would call that pay to win

They are unobtainable even if you do pay, unless you also basically do everything. Normally the term pay to win refers to games where either whomever pays the most wins, or spending offers an overwhelming advantage compared to everything else. But that's not really true here, except in an essentially unrealistic extreme. Spending offers an advantage between two players who otherwise are tied in all other respects, but having an advantage between two competitors who otherwise do exactly the same things equally well is not pay to win, that is literally all competitions.

I'm sorry but if there's NO way you can place #1 without having to spend, it's called a PAY TO WIN event.

Nothing new really for realm events. Banquet was the exact same.

Last year's Battlegrounds Realm Event was absolutely nothing like this Realm Event. I placed top 4 overall without spending a single penny.

Spenders had an advantage which was being able to purchase Units in order to buy elders BUT they still had to play the game AND win BG matches in order to rack up points.

This "Summoner Fest" is an absolute joke towards competition, it's a PAY to WIN event.

Maybe its because they analyzed data and figured out some people were being scumbags farming the VT for points and didn't want that anymore.

So they put points in the "Win X Matches" objectives, which will result in those same people camping?

If you want the radiance you won't camp...

I dont particularly care about the radiance in the objectives, and I'm not alone.

I won't be camping, but there definitely will be some that do.

Spider Woman needs dupe and is trash in BGs. Easiest choice ever

Spider woman likes the dupe. Not needed. You can say the same about Silk. They're been some bad takes round here, but this might be the worst...

Some takes..... But maybe ...... So something.......

Silk doesn't need dupe for damage, Spider Woman needs it for damage. Silk ramps up
faster and hits harder. Spider Woman only hits hard after intercepting the opponent's special and even then she only does big damage for one hit...........
