    Yep. It would have been far more tolerable had you been able to turn in regular Yokai medals for legendary ones. Even at a 5:1 ratio or something, just to help mitigate the grind.

    I got my Scooty Puff Sr just on the last day. And I picked up Fleshy Souls to boot. I quite enjoy this series.

    I have a motto that I follow each day of my life. Others would do well to follow it also.

    It isn't like everyone knew all of the finer details of this event that made it a complete chore before going in. After all, that information about the grind-increase per prize wasn't put on the forefront in the event's advertisements.

    That motto also sounds like the mantra of every scammer on the planet, too, so sorry, bud, I don't like it.

    Couldn't have said it better.

    I opted to get all the minions, despite finding the majority of the designs painfully unappealing, and learned from the old demo that I'll never play the game. (It's way too much to do on the touch-screen, and I can foresee many depressed children from scratching theirs up just from normal play since so much is during the high stakes combat.)

    Basically, it was a soulless grind for the sake of it, and I really don't know if I can get behind Nohi, who wanted the event his buddy was putting on for him to promote his games be as hard as possible. There was no reason for it!

    Not only that the game gives us bad content but the community is also full of people defending it, like how people brag about how they can do Atma in a week for their main and their alt., and that it's everyone else's fault that they cannot do the same.

    I'm just glad its over. Maybe I can use fates to level again instead of having hoards of people with 220 item levels finishing level 15 fates in 20 seconds. :|

    Considering the level sync, their gear wouldn't matter much.

    Serious question, if the item level scale perfectly down why do I personally do better damage and have higher MP/HP as a WHM using higher level gear, than i do of level gear? I mean, it's not that I'm bad at the game, I can finish certain level 15 fates in 30-45 seconds wearing item level 120 gear, so. I have never seen this happen with hoards of people geared of level.
