I disagree. Sparks are ultimately only good for tokens, and to get the best value for ur sparks means you have to promote a squad member (4x bonus) for each event. That’s the only strategy. That strategy doesn’t change by promotion grouping. When a ruby crown nautica has 52,000 points in the first 4 runs and I’ve got 8,000, I’m definitely not going to be spending gems, and that’s negatively impacting the business. To entice me to spend gems (and buy gems), the race needs to be close, I need to have a chance. If I were competing against only silver promoted, it’d come down to who played the best and narrow point spreads instead of promotion. Who didn’t kill BP too early, miss that one structure, or transform at the wrong time and get 2 seconds behind a rock instead of EG’s laser on Unicron. I’d be way more likely to shuck out 40 gems if it were feasible that 4 runs could get me there. As it is now, it’s not about how well you play, just about how many sparks you have. The 2000 and 5000 gem bundle isn’t even offered to me. There’s literally no way for me or my 7 year old to get that many sparks. We’re at about 600/day. Drudging along like champs trying to compete against dudes that are level 931 planet eaters. Mad props to the Dark Knight, I just shouldn’t have to compete against him at level 262.
