Its not just that there are 2 subs open at once meaning for the next 2 days if you really want to grind you have to hit 17 nodes every 3 hours. NO THANK YOU at least it made up my mind on where I want to place this event.

The sleepless nights and spending money...this how you've treated other PVE release events? No wonder people get burned out on this game, they don't treat it like a game.

Gthor event was by far the most effort I put into any event. Since then I been taking it much easier. I have just flopped into top 10 in the last few months for the new characters instead of going for top spots by using the rubber band.

Some gained extra points that others will not be able to, and they're allowing you to keep points that you got out of the sub that was ran prematurely. I almost cleared it, but didn't finish an Essential and a Trivial. I was going to say, this will be the first PVE I don't go for all 3 covers with. And this is coming off of a #1 finish in my bracket for the last PVE. Thor, I was in contention for T5, all 3 covers, until the final day, where I brought my extra phone batteries, but forgot my phone while I went to church. I settled for a T10 there, got 2 covers. Was kinda relieved to not have to grind it out too much and possibly still miss T5, but I got over it, since I made the mistake of leaving my phone in the first place. Elektra, I think I managed to score T5 and get all 3 covers. I was slowing down for Starlord, partly because I was done with competitve PVE, made a thread about it on the forums and everything. That was until the 8h refresh. I got #1 in that, and was looking forward and still kinda am, to playing for T2 in PVE when they come back. It is the only way I'll be able to cover my 4*s, other than Fury, who I had covered, then with token pulls, got optimally covered. Another reason I was slowing down for Starlord, is because I looked at my 4* roster. Softcapped 4*s Xforce 147, 2/2/3, Dino 131 0/1/4. Underleveled 4*s Fury 156 5/5/3, Thor 106 3/0/2, IW 104 1/4/2, and Elektra 104 3/1/1. I would probably pull Starlord from tokens for before he is usable. I have recently pulled a Fury, Thor and Elektra from various tokens. Then I looked at my 3*s, that I am trying to level since I have the covers to do decently in PVP, with my ISO stack, that makes me feel like I am living paycheck to paycheck, or LR to LR. All of that combined made me decide I would be fine with T10 finish, or just 2 covers. After typing this and reading it, I don't even know if I want to go for the 2 covers anymore. 1 cover may be fine, or I might just go for the Mohawk green.

Scaling has gone mad in PVE, and made these events all but unplayable as you increase your roster levels/size. Length has always been crazy, and as this is the last 3 hour refresh it is another crazy grind. To save peace of body (time-wise) and peace of mind (pulling out hair due to difficulty), I've just resigned myself to building my roster almost solely through PVP's - is this the Dev's plan, move the uppers into PVP only? If so I see lots of complaints by lower rosters that they can't play PVP (worse than ever MMR) and upper rosters that they can't play PVE (worse than ever scaling) - this "solution" hasn't made either side happy.

No wonder people get burned out on this game, they don't treat it like a game. I noticed that for each new character I have to spend even more HP (boost) and Iso to place Top 5. 7K HP in boosts and Health Packs for Squirrel Girl. Never again. Gthor was a complete nightmare. But even if I don't play her much in PvP, I play her a lot in Sim and PvE, so that's OK. Starlord ? Where on earth will I be using him when I can use Xforce and Gthor ? Let's be funny for a minute : use bagman against Starlord to screw your countdowns...
