Ok, so I've been seeing lots of complains about the EB Armors being super weak and the Heroic Mode now nearly impossible to complete without throwing a few gems into the field so this is what I think.

First of all, we all need to realize and remember that this is a business!, this is Gree/IUGO's business, they are not giving free stuff because they love us, they need to pay probably lots of people running the game for us and this comes from Advertisement and the portion of players that actually pay or "invest" in a chance to get a new armor so never expect to get good and free stuff, anything NOT requiring a couple of Gems is probably average.

We all got super excited when the Heroic mode arrived and the chance to get an Epic+, I am a level 480+ seasoned player and this represented the best chance to get an Epic+ (As I am not part of the portion of players that "invest"). And what happened?, we all rushed to the heroic mode and got our dirty hands on some nice looking and above average Epic armors; some of us within the first couple of weeks and had enough time to spare, this was what gree was expecting and they immediately shortened the heroic mode timeframe (and drop rate, even if they deny this, we all know they did) to a single week which took us back to where we were; you have to pay to get the best in the game, they gave us a bit of something really good and now they raised the price.

I have to be really honest, I love the game but I am getting really tired and bored, I am not taking part of the regular Wars and I stopped entering the Arena tournaments since I was Level 200, I am GM of a Guild and we just take part of the Blitz wars (to get some FusionArmors) and Raids as the rewards for not gemming guilds are still decent, maybe a Legendary to use as Fusion fodder and tons of 3 star armors to enhance my epics. But regular wars are PPV only, it is very sad to see new players really thinking they have a chance to be Top100, the price is just too high if you ask me, as for Arena tournaments.... C'mon, the Epic prizes are really not that good and not worth the effort.

Now we have a new Armor tier, Dragonforged or as we like to called them: Six stars Armors, now that Epic armors are not so exclusive and nearly everyone over Lvl25 can get one the game needs a new incentive but once again, you have to spend a couple of gems, if you are complaining about getting an epic armor from the EB that is about as strong as the last Legendary armor then you are not getting the idea of the game and you should be looking for another kind of entertainment, why would Gree give the strongest armor to any level 25 player?, that would reduce the ammount of gems that players invest in getting the premier stuff.

So here's my current strategy for players over 100, by this point you should be able to kick the EB 43 times with very little effort and not spending a single gem, and get enough cash from your training fields to not worry about running outta gold, so get the materials to craft 2 armors but do not bother in leveling the first one to craft a Plus version, their numbers are most likely well bellow to what you already have, use them wisely to fuse ftw and hope to get a Tier3-4 Epic that I expect would have better stats that the ones you just fused, take part in the Raids to get some nefty 2 and 3 star armors and use them to enhance those epics as well as the Fusion armor from Blitz.

If you are one of those hardcore gamers, go for the Heroic mode armor and why not? try to get the Plus version, it is perfectly possible to get it if you play it to your strenght and reduce the energy and time waste, get some lower lever items from the Arena if you have some time to kill.

Best of luck and see you on the other side.
