  Well that's a super cool prize for one person, but I would not be surprised if the November deals include a 2-3 crystal or some such. The July 4 deals were wild.

  that would be awful. 7 months in and we've burned halfway through the rarity already.

  I highly doubt kabam will allow even whales to get a r3 by cyber weekend. However I'm almost willing to bet they'll have some t4a in the banquet crystals so mega whales can have a r3 at the low cost of taking a mortgage out on their house 🤣

  Im predicting a sprinkle of t4a in cyber weekend and then ALOT more in the banquet event (possibly even 1 or 2 guaranteed r3s in the rank rewards) which will make everyone extremely angry for approximately 1 day until they decide to open an absurd amount of banquet crystals

  I'm speculating the same.
  Some small fragments of r3 mats on Cyber weekend, and then Banquet event is where the r3 will be available for whaling.
  Depending on whether or not 8.4 is out, there is a very high chance will see the next progression title as the big bait, to encourage big whaling in the event.
  If Act8 conclusion isn't released by then yet, then it's surely the spring cleaning for the next progression title, which will require a 7* at r3 (if not more).
  Just my estimation though 😉

  I will bet my entire roster that 8.4 will not be released by then.

  the transition between r1 and r3 took 6 months (early may to late october). with 6 stars it took 2 years (january 2018 to december 2019).
  
  it's probable that every super whale will have a profile full of r3s by the end of gifting in december.
  
  are you trying to release 8 stars in the next two years??

  Actually they did something similar with 6*'s and when they first introduced a tournament style event at Comic Con. I think Seatin won a R2 gem or something like that back in the day.

  It's so predictable and its not good for the game. 8* coming in one or 2 years will make this game stupid and we, the players, stupid as well. Everything in the game will be downgraded to absolutely no value.

  We can say for sure that in the end of next year top players will have multiple rank 5 7* and Kabam must have been thinking about 8* already because how can they milk players without next rarities? The lifecycle of a rarity will be only 2 years from now on, it's becoming a standard now.

  Bro the minute i saw the rewards, i was completely concerned....if things keep going on like that we'll have rank 4 by april -.- it's way too soon and you know whats funny? There's not a single end-game content to require a 7* r2 and let alone a r3
  A rank 2 gem would already be an awesome prize or even an 7* awakening gem
  Just think about it, we don't have rn a single piece of alfa 4 and we need 3 of them to do a 2-3 rank up, now someone will have a 2-3 gem? Just feel wrong....i know it'll be only 1 person with a rank 3 but that's how it starts and since it's way too soon, i'm concerned =/

  And that was in october 2019, basically 1 year and a half after the release of 6 stars

  I'm guessing that means the next piece of Everest content we're getting is gonna be nothing but a revive dump for anything other than 6* rank 5's and up. And Hercules, of course.

  Couldn't agree more, I was expecting them to take 7* as slow as they did with 6* and I liked it more that way cuz for a few years (a lot) it kept the game going and going but now they're rushing it

  Ultimately they have an extra rank for 7 stars since they go up to rank 6 and they still have ascension to start up. So they miiiiight be able to save it.
  
  Knowing kabam they will prob screw it up tho

  I mean we all know we were eventually gonna get 8* 9* and higher etc. Don't really see the problem with a new rank per year. Just wish there was content worth the justification.

  Just an opinion, but I do believe speed of acceleration is more the issue than anything else. Not the acceleration by itself.

  That is exactly what's going to happen.
  5% of r3 mats in Gifting crystals. So 1-2 Uber Rich players can get their early r3s.

  Maybe not as fast as YOU want, but it does change and improve.

  This will all make t6a t6b t6cc all more available. There's still gonna be a lot of champs that aren't available as 7* or super hard to get. I look at this like it's gonna help the economy moving forward.
