I still had 200x Cubes to use near the end of Heavy Metal War 1, but I know that I could've easily kissed them goodbye and still not break and maintain 150, so I didn't bother trying. I just wanted to keep safely under 1500, because I missed out on Swoop by 21 places last event, very annoyed, so I didn't want a repeat of that skin-of-the-teeth finish.
I really wish they would stop with their blatant rip off tactics though, they aren't even trying to disguise their greed anymore, basically saying "THE MORE YOU SPEND..." etc etc, and making Rodimus the Ultra Rare (aka 'unload your bank account') card; a highly popular/requested character and the only one (to my knowledge) that has no previous incarnation, I wouldn't be surprised if they buffed their bank account in anticipation for the waves of cash they expect Rodi to generate. They bait even further by stating there wont be any Ultra Rares for a while, so get in while you can! With every event comes fewer and fewer ways to farm Cubes, such as changing the 'First Attack' Cube to an Energon Recharge, changing the Cards/Cube bundle to Cards/Transmetal, and reducing the count you get from point reward thresholds. Thankfully, they brought back the guaranteed x3 Bot/Alt/Weapon rewards after the swarms of hate mail they likely received after running 2 (or 3?) events giving just the Bot/Weapon to bait people into the Premium Space Bridge for the Alt (which they've blatantly done from day 1 by giving you the x5 characters' Weapon, hoping you'll buy/try for the Bot/Alt). And a personal favourite of mine, the EPISODE Space Bridge... that DOESN'T give episode cards... now that is a gem right there...
Please excuse the rant, I guess it just bugs me big time when people clearly put profit ahead of decency, because I strongly doubt these guys are struggling to stay afloat, they are just plain greedy and testing the waters for how deep they can wallet rape before people put up a struggle, and with some players dropping enough Cubes for 600mil damage on a 1.5bil boss, they'll just keep on thrusting.
One last thing, wouldn't it be nice if they employed the many decent suggestions players are making...? Trading anyone...? Nope, less profits.
