Lunar Event Feedback from an End-Game F2P Player

I’ve played every single day during this Lunar event. Full participation. Full effort.
The best milestone reward I received once was a Water faction result. The rest of my points came almost entirely from lower team-building scores accumulated over time.
From red envelopes:
Mostly 888 gold
Low-value ISO
Minimal unit drops (88 once)
A few Bronco tokens (3 total), which are nowhere near enough to reach meaningful point thresholds like 200k+
For an end-game free-to-play player, this event feels structurally unrewarding.
Effort does not translate into progression.
The gap between spenders and non-spenders continues to widen, especially in milestone events where meaningful rewards are locked behind spending thresholds.
This isn’t about wanting to compete with whales.
It’s about feeling that daily engagement actually matters.
When long-term, loyal players grind consistently and receive negligible progression, it discourages continued participation.
Events should motivate the entire player base — not just the top spending tier.
Right now, the Lunar event feels heavily skewed toward high spenders while free-to-play end-game players are left accumulating marginal resources with no real advancement.
I hope this feedback is taken seriously.
Retention of veteran players depends on perceived fairness and meaningful reward scaling.

Do you want more rewards?

Its random

Get luck when openning a red envelope Crystal

Some won 7 stars champions

Others as me, less than 300 units

Amazing game

Let’s talk about probability versus reality.

This is a Chinese New Year event built around faction combinations. Wood faction is clearly the rarest. Water is second. That’s fine.. rarity creates excitement.

But here’s the issue:
After 200k+ points, full daily participation, and grinding all milestones the long way I have never seen a full board of Wood.
Seen Water faction once.
The next best combinations aren’t even close in value compared to those two.

At that point, we’re not talking about “rare.” We’re talking about statistically nonexistent for some players. Yes, it’s RNG but RNG in a limited-time event should still allow reasonable distribution across the player base. Especially after high engagement thresholds like 200k+ points.

When someone plays every day, reaches all milestones, makes optimal strategic swaps, and still never sees the top faction combination, it stops feeling like randomness and starts feeling like artificial scarcity.

If Wood faction is meant to be mythical, that’s fine.. but maybe don’t build the event identity around it. A New Year event should feel celebratory. Instead, for many free-to-play endgame players, it feels like:

“Congratulations on your 888 gold.”

After significant grind, there should be at least a fair chance at experiencing the headline reward of the event. RNG is part of the game.
But fairness in distribution keeps players invested.
Right now, for some of us, the odds feel less like chance and more like decoration.

Don’t fret about Peixie, he’s just a bot that KABAM made too “smart”. Other then that, I totally agree, what a waste of time
