Why are 6* awakening gems the *only* resource that hasn’t become more available to endgame players?

I understand that when rank 3s first became accessible, that T5CC, rank up gems, sig stones, and awakening gems would be incredibly scarce (and they were!). However, over the many months since then, there has been new content that allowed us *much* more access to T5CC, rank up gems, and more recently 6* sig stones. I think this is a rate of progression most people are happy with, and it makes sense now that rank 4s do exist.

I would have thought 6* awakening gems would follow the trend to match everything else, but instead I have over 50 generic sig stones in the overflow (with 75 more on the way soon lol) because I can’t awaken my champs who need it. I have *so* many good 6*s that are locked behind their awakened ability to become useful, and I have the sig stones to boost them up when that time comes - but because 6* shards are still a bit timely to gather, I have very few opportunities to dupe them naturally. But I can’t awaken them either due to the scarcity of AGs.

I’m an endgame player through and through; I’ve 100% cleared all content except for Abyss (no 5* Aegon, and my 6* is unduped), got the max milestone on SOP, and will get all the objectives of this final week’s challenge as well. I have only ever received 2 awakening gem crystals.

Maybe I’m not looking at it the right way, but the item distribution just feels off to me when I’ve had close to 100 generic sigs in the overflow before, but can’t awaken the right champs to use those stones on.

Has anyone else noticed this too? Or am I not understanding something correctly? Any input would be appreciated, as I’m interested to see what everyone else has to say. Thanks! :)

    I agree with OP here for sure - after SoP I had 75 generics go straight into the overflow. Fortunately I’ve had champs to use them on but others won’t be in that position. It would be great if Kabam could consider adding some 6* AG’s to end game content soon.

    Preach. We have only gotten 2 that didnt require money and both random. I honestly thought gauntlet would have it and final sop week aswell but nope

    And even though I’m of course not a fan of locking things behind paywalls, I get it with endgame resources. It’s just…the 6* AG paywalls are (in my opinion) ridiculous. Like with July 4th, you could only access one after spending 15 thousand units (and then it was another 3k for the deal itself). I think it would’ve been much more fair if they did it like other years where 3k deals are on the side. But no, expecting anyone but whales to pay that kind of money just to have access to a single AG isn’t realistic

    I have 4x awakening gems which I never really and I'm hesitant about it. Plenty of signatures stones expiring as well.
    Still doesn't make me use the gems on someone though

    3 including the generic from abyss exploration.
    But yea 6 star AGs are way too rare, at this point the only other one I can earn is the generic they put at the end of July 4/cyber weekend unit deals.

    Hoping we see an awakening gem crystal in 7.3 exploration

    I feel you. Lately I pulled a 6* Omega Red and a 6* Nick Fury. I’m happy, but who knows when I’ll awaken them. I’m not complaining but I’d love a better chance to awaken them. SOP rewards were a good step in that direction with the class nexus. I’d love more chances to earn more targeted crystals

    See I’d go for that if I could actually dupe my Aegon lol. It’s a bit of a catch 22 where you need a proper roster to take abyss - so you can get the resources to build that proper roster. Gotta love it hahaha

    Maybe it wouldn’t be as much of a problem if they implemented the “Wish crystal”, but nope, not yet…

    Quite possibly getting close to time for class limited 6* crystals, even if it’s 2-3 classes. But—and this would be the major caveat—that needs to be available only to the upper % of players. Seeing people with R3 6*’s who haven’t hit L60 makes my head spin. Class limited 6*’s shouldn’t be generally available.
