Extra shards are nice but they mean little if you don't have all the other resources you need too. Strangely though they seem to have rolled back the special CP stores that they were throwing up around new 5* releases last year. My feeling is this is what they decided to do to stop token exploits and previewing.I always get skeptical when I see people posting 1/80 Vaults when they got the LTs. I mean, I managed to get 3 LTs in 3 different vaults within a week (but I'm quite sure they weren't all from the 1st pulls), so it is possible. But, when this makes me doubt other people's luck, the problem is quite bad (considering I usually try to see things positively). It's feasible to see people using the exploit to get the 4* cover multiple times to finish SHIELD Training.The lack of 5* CP stores is probably to stop people picking and choosing when to bust their hoards. Probably. These are just my speculations.

Previewing is kind of a game changing factor. If you preview the store/vault and see that you are going to get **** draws you aren't going to pull from that store/vault and you will save your resources for the next store/vault that you preview and have draws that you like. The fact that the stores/vaults are static is the whole reason that previewing is even possible.
OJSP said: Mayo said:I beg to differ, if you search the forums sometime ago there was randomness in draws which could indeed benefit previewing by giving you different results. Now that draws are fixed (not random) there is no advantage. For example, if you preview your next five latest legends looking for a 5* and get five 4*s it is irrelevant if you actually pull or not at that moment since those covers will still be waiting for you when you draw tomorrow, next week or next month to avance towards your next 5*.Previewing doesn't really work for token stores. It mainly works for Vaults (unless they've fixed that too recently, but considering some people were still complaining about it a few weeks ago, I think it's still happening). Like you said, we can't preview Latests or Classics because of the predetermined pulls. However, we could preview other stores that have the 3 characters we want at high levels and decide if we wanted to pull or not, depending on how good the pull rates are.
