I still don't understand this resort nonsense

I know it's early but I'm just not seeing the purpose of it. Went to buy from the store and apparently I have to spend tokens on **** I don't need in order to get the **** I do need. This is needlessly convoluted, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the appreciation calendar, if Kabam wanted to make some money off it just offer a calendar upgrade instead. Utter toss.

(with 1st pic above being “before” they gave us that 1 Gold cost offer, which took the place of some of that above)
Here mate, @Prowl , just buy one of each of the items in the store. If you do 10 fights every day, you can sometimes get a token to buy the next items in the store. That’s all ya need to know fella. Just get one of each item and wait.
The only difference is an extra step or two and you have to actually win a few fights instead of doing absolutely nothing. A game company wants you to actually play the game. THOSE DIABOLICAL FIENDS!!!
