Absolutely honest and trustworthy, and never makes jokes. It's a *boink*. The recipients reportedly get some 2* reward when sent. Apparently the "send gift to friends" function fires pretty much at random, not necessarily tied to the reward you just received.

Problem is .... unless retention is boosted, unless new players start flooding in, if there aren't enough higher-level players now ... then when will there be enough? Rolling out the higher ranks and CLs would help with retention at the top ...

I agree with Grumpy I wish you had asked what % of the player base would be able to be in clearence level 8 and above? Then what % of player base needs to be 8 and above to open up clearence level 8.

Not only do you get 4 stars, hero points, command points, Heroic and Legendary tokens, and iso (you eventually get all the invested iso back) but also xp! And what does this xp get you? More iso! If you magically get 13 covers of a 4 star then your plan works, but in reality if you champion now, you'll make back the iso and more by the time a 4 star is ready to be championed. So instead of stashing your iso in a mattress where you get minimal gains, invest it and help yourself out.
