    It's also AUD, which is still a lot, but $550 USD.

    I still struggle to see the value even in the milestones

    for 15k..

    60k 7* shards
    5k titan shards
    enough t4 alpha for 2 r3s...
    3 7* glorious guardian champs (some who are very good)
    7* glorious guardians awakening gem
    70 7* glorious guardians sig stones
    30 7* generic sigs
    1-2 generic
    bunch of necessary catalysts (t6c, t5c, t6b, t3a)
    7* isophyne

    plus....2 more 7* basics and a 7* nexus

    plus whatever you pulled from those SBCs, which is a cherry on top.

    for 15k this is very solid. how much would just a 2-3 generic gem cost with units 5 weeks ago?
    People banking on rewards not yet earned… I don’t get it. Sure if all the milestones come in it’s not a total wash but the spirit of the event has totally been lost with this pivot.

    Opening Gifting/Banquet crystals used to be fun and exciting.

    Even last year’s Crystal kept this spirit by giving us plenty of chances to spin for the limited pool.

    This year there is no excitement at all. The YouTube content of SBCs is trash. Opening the crystal is trash. I have all the milestones and there’s 0 motivation to do more.

    Previous years I’d grind units, I’d grab an Odin just for the fun of opening these crystals. The evidence is loud and overwhelming not too with SBCs. I have no interest. I did my part for the community, and now I have to hope enough people are as impulsive as I was at the start to push the realm event forward… but the slow down is real there… and the news about the SBCs is as well. It’s only gonna slow down more.

    We were at 50% of the way there day one, 65% of the way there on day 2 and might get to 75% on day 3 but the trend is concerning as the rates keep dropping. And this is even after Kabam’s attempt to sweeten the chase… it’s not a Slam dunk we get all the Realm Event stuff.
    if the SBCs were good the super whales would blow up the economy. kabam is making them fight over scraps of r4s without hurting the economy and the rest of us get very good stuff with the milestones. i get it, the SBCs are gross but that's the point. while we're missing out on the rush of popping crystals, we're still getting the good rewards.

    So actually as long as you spend less than 3k units. The milestone is pretty solid

    may i remind you that there's good stuff in the milestones including sigs and shards. why do we have to keep repeating this? you guys can't let go of the SBC situation.

    THE VALUE IS IN THE MILESTONES and whales are at each other's throats for crumbs of t7b which means the economy is safe and us bystanders still get great stuff.

    everyone is being stubborn.

    we expected a pie for banquet but we got a ticket instead (which comes with a free pie!) but everyone's crying over getting a ticket and moaning how they can't eat the ticket. BUT IT COMES WITH A PIE! YOU CAN EAT THAT, CAN'T YOU?

    Nobody is arguing that. The point is the event used to be centered around the enjoyment of opening the crystal. That enjoyment has been murdered, dismembered and left out to rot in the sun.

    Invest in the milestones and hope others do too. If they don’t then the realm event and the event fail. It’s another garbage implementation of this concept that only creates division and stress.

    And the crystals could have been made enjoyable without destroying this precious ecosystem.
    i get it crystals are fun drips of dopamine and that's missing this year. but how long can we complain about it?

    There is no point in doing more than your minimum
    unfortunately yes, there's minimal value past the milestones. it sucks but maybe we should also put the pitchforks down?

    Ok Milestone Genius, care to explain something to me?... If this milestones are so great, explain to me why i spent over 20k units in past banquets and in 2023/2024 I decided to do the minimum to clear to milestones only?... Is it because I am satisfied with the milestones or because the crystals are trash and I rather not spend my units?
    20k+ units in past years was not even whale level; but I spent them...now I'm sitting on 15K i don't even want to use...
    Are you one of those F2P players that constantly complains about the gap between spenders and F2P and that's why you like this structure so much?
    Maybe you should let everyone with a pitchfork do whatever they want, I mean there is not much people backing up Kabam on this one...
