Spending Acorns when CONTENDER and below

I have an account that is CONTENDER. LVL 25
I have spent 100k acorns at the Acorn store, but there is a problem.
I can't spend anymore acorns because I can not access the UNCOLLECTED and CAVALIER items.
That means I can not continue to participate in the solo event either.
Is this how the event was designed?
I can grind and get acorns but can't use them because of my progression?
Please help

    It's just another incentive to progress
    As far as I know there are not cavalier items

    If a sommoner is CONTENDER he can not use his earned acorns for purchases towards UNCOLLECTED or CAVALIER items. A CONTENDER can only purchase items for CONTENDER level items. The items do not refresh daily, once all items for that level are purchased that sommoner can not Spend any more acorns. Because he can not spend any more acorns he can not earn points towards the Spend solo event.
    KABAM is preventing lower level sommoners from participating in the event beyond a certain point.
    @Kabam Miike Am I right or wrong?

    If you can recall, kabam gifted 5k 5* shards for Uncollected and 4* hero crystal for Contenders, (cannot exactly recall the event).This motivated me enough to go Uncollected on both accounts. Although i had only five 4* 4/40 mid level champs on my other ID.

    Curious if I am understanding this correctly, if I say was able to achieve uncollected before this event ends would I have access to those items in the Squirrel Store or would I have to wait till next month like they do with the calendar. If anyone knows please comment.

    Thank you!

    You don't need the 5* AG to get uncollected. Many did it with 4*s.

    I can live with the items in the store not being available to everyone but the whole milestone thing is kind of a middle finger

    You are correct. Sometimes there are limits to how far a player can progress in some events. Sometimes that limit is due to the intrinsic difficulty of the event, sometimes that limit is due to the roster development of the player, and sometimes that limit is gated by the progress tier of the player.

    That's just the reality of progressional games. Sometimes certain things are only available to players that reach a certain level of progress, because sometimes progress has exclusive rewards to incentivize pushing for more progress.
