He was on Asia fwiw, so he won't be affecting us over on US server. But yea, I know what you mean. In any case, I have to imagine that someone who has spent that much already probably doesn't care about the money. Had to have been at least a $5k account.

Man that's literally like burning a pile of money.
lol im suprised they didnt even bother to sell it to recoup some costs
This!
Reminds me of my Puzzles & Dragons days....
Oh man I spent a lot of money and time on that game. Was fun though
Me too, but I ultimately grew tired of it because of the specific team comps you needed to clear parts of the endgame and 99% of them were from the premium summons. The teams I liked using weren't viable for any of that.
I know it's been said before, but if you want to place highly in Arena, it *really* pays off to get your fights in early.
I'm at roughly the same arena score right now as I was last week, but in 150 less fights. Getting 30 to 35 points a fight is huge.

You can also do a lot of challenges when you start early
I feel like there's a whole different world that I am not aware of. I couldn't name a single other guild in the game. I'm also surprised these folks take GB so seriously.
Not drama just people who're paranoid because they're loosing their rank to a rival.
So they're taking the excuse that they're loosing it because the community manager, Deathcrown is probably giving priviledges for his guild (mode paranoid ON!) without any proof.
They're just seeking an excuse to blame for their lost.
For example, they're so paranoid that they swear (without any source) that their rival guild Crismon had some shout on on the Twitch streams... come on, Deathcrown is not even part of the hosts, he wasn't even in the stream of the Mobacrush.
Umm but he mentioned the guild name in the official streams!! OMFG! Unfair!
Yep. I got my mandatory 3500 for 5% today. Took around 90 fights. Its almost impossible to even get 3500 later in the week due to the multitudes of high level teams all over that range. Right now there are still some really soft teams with under enhanced SSS units and few dracos.

Lol this reminds me of my endgame FFXI days. So much drama over a phone game.

Oh god, don't remind me. The drama in that game was out of control

I've turned in probably 20 of them for summons. I've gotten 1 level above the minimum twice i think. I kind of expected this going in, but on the bright side, at least I was able to use the result rather than just having to trash it as with the skill cards.
Save and and wait for the 50% enhance bonus. I think I might have enough to make 3 new SSS fodders Sunday lol. I'm now ranking in some top 5% and 1% so making SSS has become a lot easier.
Lmao, I remember one of the top guilds accusing the other during the old guild battle times for setting up a separate guild with low level characters to farm wins, so silly over a phone game no less.

When you think about how much money the guilds have collectively invested, it's not as silly anymore. Although you could still argue that the amount of money is what's silly.
Edit: If everyone quits, maybe that will make world boss, labyrinth, and guild battle easier

it will make getting top 50 easier if your were top 1% before but it will be worse for everyone else since top 5% will be like top 100 or so lol

Not really. Look at it like this.
Suppose N people quit the game, and all N people score higher than you. You move up by N rankings (i.e. your ranking gets closer to 0), and the population decreases by N.
Before, your rank was X / P, and now your rank is (X-N) / (P-N). Which is bigger (i.e. worse)? The answer is that the OLD ranking is worse, but here's how you prove it in case you need convincing.
Code:
X X - N
------ ? --------
P P - NThe goal is to find out whether the ? is a > or a <
X(P-N) ? P(X-N)
XP - XN ? XP - PN
-XN ? -PN
PN ? XN
P ? X
Since P is the total population, P > X. This shows that your old percent (before everyone quit) is higher (i.e. worse) than your new percent. Meaning you will get a better percentage as well.
Concrete example: There's 15,210 people, and you get 160. 25 people quit. Now there's 15,185 people and you get 135. Before you were 1.05%, now you get .89%
thats assuming only ppl above you quit though, and the real problem is that unless you spend to maintain the rank some one slighlty lower can always drop a few 100$ and jump right over, i think ideally 10k noobs join then everyones rank becomes nicer lol

Sure but we can assume that the people lower than you who are spending $100 were doing so independently of whether or not the guild quit. They didn't spend $100 BECAUSE the guild quit, they just did it anyway.
But the point is that If a bunch of people quit, and they were all scoring higher than you, then your percent will increase.
Everyone doesn't even have to have done better than you though, there's a threshold obviously. But since we're talking about an extremely high performing guild, it's safe to assume that a lot of people in that guild asre stronger than your average f2p player, or even your average spender. Because they were all above average spenders.
Any way you slice it though, a lot of paying players leaving makes it easier for regular people to get higher ranks.
sheep rng lol, if youre all sheeped doesnt matter how bad their allies are they can still beat you
This is not true, my entire team has been sheeped before but since everybody's is maxed with good gear, I still sometimes win.

Good old Azura, me and my GB buddy beat him once, it's like Christmas.
Ugh, it hurt just watching it. Why?!
Same. Still stuck at +3 for Blackaria with 36% fail bonus.
Definitely will from now on, though isn't the fail bonus 30%?
speechless. I'm happy for the person to kick a really bad addiction though. If it's mentally harming you to the point where you're "wasting" that much time and money then it's for the best
From the comments section : he is not quitting, he is just staying instead on the Korean version.

+肉文句さま I'm done with this game and i still wait for mhx in 3ds is comming soon haha

Close - crit from a meteor mage. A big crit can wipe out most of my team.
Most people have tried the WB yet. At 2m I'm over 2%.
Edit:
According to reddit, the characters you can see in the picture at the link below can be turned into "super" versions of themselves. Not sure what that means.

Woooo! Just pulled an SS from premium summons for the first time, and then pulled another right after!
Looks like a new type of ascension, like Draco/Angel/Boden. They need to be at +Ultimate and 10 of a new essence to ascend.

Ascended Gram looks like he's ready to wreck shit.

It's kind of annoying because I was planning on using some of those guys in the chart as fodder. Now I feel like I should hold on to them because who knows if I'll ever pull another.
Yeah, I kinda feel the same, though the lack of SSS units I can obtain will probably convince me otherwise eventually. I'm curious to know how strong ascended Karang is. I combined him away since he was kinda crap, lol. Anyways, hopefully we'll have the skillset of all the new ascended units soon so we know what to aim for.

That update is just about to go live in Korea, meaning we're talking about 5-6 months down the line for us.
