Now there are many people that invest serious amounts of time in this game and grind hard for the shrinking pool of 3 cover event rewards. many of them can put in more time then and i think they deserve to win most of the time for it. i just started shield hoping in pvp is some events to try for the 1000 points. so far 0 for 3. first time was for fist but was aiming for that juicy yellow NC17-Force to nerf my 551 NC17-Force. managed 850 and missed my hop 6hours off by an hour losing 270 points in the process cause of life. bought my first set of health packs that day. out 900hp nothing to show for it but some 3* event rewards i had maxed already. second got the red for NoMoFro 700 hp spent, third 450hp for just a mohawk MohawkSoldSeparately in the lastest pvp missing the 4* by 40 points another hard day with life. the point is you are calculating that most people with play optimally for a year plus which is a big commitment for most people. I think a weekly is fine because you can't guarantee you can play optimally for that long of a time it would be bad enough missing a week for a 4 star you have do not have a cover for but messing up 2 weeks for a cover you do but couldn't play that day is depressing. then waiting for it to come back around 16 weeks !!!! cause 1 day you couldn't play. 1 week is pain enough lets leave it at that.

PS 100 day player, a proud owner of a useless 2/1/0 TGT all from token pulls Again, it's not a year for 1, it's a year for all. And it's not a year. Wirius has everyone beleiving that because he keeps using it to prove weekly isn't too fast when it's not true. A Still Deadpool. What'd ya' expect?! Quest handout wouldn't even be close to the only way to get 4* covers. It would probably be close to the easiest way tho.

hesjingixen wrote: The problem with your other argument is that all of these "other ways" to get 4*s aren't really viable for people without rosters that already include max 4*s. To quote you from the other thread. From easiest to hardest (IMO): Daily Resupply - Oh joy, 1 a month, spread out across all the various 4*s (currently 8 including MrClean). Given their current 4* release schedule, you might literally NEVER get them all. Buying Covers - Sure, this is always an option, but I think that, overall, the discussion is about how to do it without spending copious $$. PvE Debut Placement - Ok, good, I can consistently get 1 cover from these events, due to 2 covers requiring top 20 or worse, top 10. Great, another 1 power wonder. Tokens - Random but legitimate. I've probably gotten 6-7 in the year that I've been playing, most were InvisibleBags. Season Placement - Without 270 NC17-Force/4hor and/or a rockin 20 member alliance? Good luck. PvP 1000 progression - Without 270 NC17-Force/4hor? Good luck. I've tried NUMEROUS times, I'm something like 0 and 7. PvE 1-2 placement - I play every time the timer is up, and I grind like hell right before a sub ends. I regularly place in the 30s, so......no. PvP 1 Placement - Without 270 NC17-Force/4hor? Good luck. So stop telling all of us that there are all these other great ways to earn 4*s. Maybe they work for you, but for those of us without 270 XFor/4hor and/or an uber alliance, those just aren't realistic. Yes, they exist, but they aren't this incredibly easy method that others make them out to be.

I basically agree with you, but it is certainly possible to beat the Gauntlet in its entirety with a 2* centered roster (I'm 2-for-3, with the one failure due more to lack of interest than difficulty). Given how scaling works, a strategy relying on HawkStormNeto (even nerf) and the generally overpowered OBW and MarsAttacks offers a viable path to completion.

You cant really expect that few whales finance the game? As Lerysh explained already its way to fast from their perspective. In my opinion better option would be to widen reward structure when they introduce 4*, so its not only t50, but like every other pve. And also to have one pvp/season that would give 4* instead of 3* covers.
