I am lvl 95 and earned my first EB+ with Araknos by winning 36 times and spending 77 gems to get the rest of the way to the EB+ armor. At the time I was using lvl 50 base versions of Voidborn Shroud, Wasp Carapace, and Nathair Armor. I had no problem spending $10 to top off my gems and put myself in a position to acquire future EB+ armors without having to spend money. Now I am in the process of trying to get plus version of Chupacabra's Hide using level 50 base versions of water EB armors and find myself again needing to buy gems if I want to get there. Granted I would need only 44 gems this time versus 77 gems last time, but I do not have any gems banked and am uninterested in spending more money. I do not have a problem spending a little money if it puts me in a position to catch up to the current generation of EB and stay competitive but it is extremely frustrating to have spent money on the belief I would be able to acquire EB+ armor in the future just to find that the boss has increased in strength beyond my reach once again. It is very unlikely I will spend any more gems on EB+ armor unless I have stockpiled enough gems to do so without spending real world money. This feels like I have run a marathon only to find the finish line has moved just before I cross it.
