I saved up for months & this is why I decided to take a step down to a relaxed veteran alliance

I opened up 355 Map 6 crystals and got 7 Tier 2 Alpha's (This is pretty good!) & then I opened up 89 Map 7 crystals and got 7,497 Tier 5 basic shards. Is this normal? I was expecting a lot more! I hate RNG in this game! Why do Map 7 if the rewards aren't worth it anymore?!

We earn approx 1250 glory which sure is a lot less than the 4,200 from playing three lots of map 5 * 5 But it’s far more relaxing playing Map 3 Without the heavy AQ grind
Did you use the Chronometer to get that tech AG that you were needing?
