You don't need t2b to rank up 4 stars. I do the auto run for the t3b and explore the quest as well gets me 4 t3b which is enough to rank up 1 to r2
1 day alliance events have them. And if you don't feel the energy to get them in the daily quests isn't really worth it, well then don't rank them up. You obviously have different objectives if you can't sacrifice 20 or 30 energy every once in a while to get the cats, that's your choice. Just like people with their gold issues. It's your job to manage your resources which include time and energy.
Condescending? You pretty much said I can't be bothered to do the quests to earn such low level cats. Well guess what, you're thronebreaker now. Maybe ask your alliance to do some map 1 or 2 in aq so you can get those lower level cats because you can't bothered to do the work to earn them.It's like kabam can't win. I've progressed so far. I need rewards to rank up the Champs that help me progress. Okay, we'll adjust the crystals and such to give you better rewards.But wait, I still get some new lesser champs. You need to give me even more ways to get the resources since all these updated ways don't give me access to them.And you don't get just one for the auto complete. And as others mentionedthey are offered in the valkyrie store as well, and that's often the case for side quest stuff. But I'm sure you can't bothered there as well. Like your not going to waste those resoruces on such low level cats...So learn to manage your time and resoruces. And if you're going to thumb your nose on tedious but easy tasks, well then nobody wants to here you whine. Funny enough, it's the same advice in the latest not enough gold thread. People don't want solutions that require their time/effort. They want handouts.
