Funny timing to return
I stopped playing years ago, sometime before 7 stars even existed. I decided to return about 6 weeks ago and after a brief relearning period I made the push to become Paragon and then Valiant. I have a very limited roster: the 3 r4 6* and 2 r3 7* needed for the titles. Beyond that, only 8 other 6* that are up to r3. That push to valiant appears to have been a huge mistake. The EQ is now harder than 9.1 was, even with the "significant" reduction. I'm apparently supposed to be ranking 6*? But the game has stopped giving me 6* shards and 7* shards are in extremely short supply, so I am at a complete standstill with no way out of where I'm forced to be. Absolutely bizarre changes.
