Tier-limited events

This is not a new idea, but I didn't see it in the first few pages of suggestions.  I'd like to see events in which you can only use characters up to a certain tier.  Ie, the tier 4 event, no 5*.  Tier 3, no 4*.  Etc, all the way down to 1.

These could either be run in parallel to the main events, or as an option within the main event, subdividing the competition into different buckets.  Rewards would be tiered down - for example, on the 3* tier, you get a 4* cover at 1200, the 10 cp reward comes at 800 instead of 575.  In 2*, top progression is a 3* cover with only 5 cp included.

At the moment, PvP is a non-starter for younger rosters.  They hit a wall and simply can't compete for relevant prizes.  If there's a mode where competition is more or less scaled to their current ability, they'd probably enjoy it more.  At the same time, especially if they're in parallel (or off-season), it would give the stronger rosters the ability to use lower-tier characters without sacrificing their competitiveness in the event.  For most vets the new 3* releases are more nuisance than fun.  It's just another 1000 hp and unnecessary Iso expenditure to make sure you don't miss out on an essential.

And, with a 1* event, D3 would get a small one-time boost to roster slots as people who only bother to maintain 1 for the daily would pick up a couple more to make a team.
