How would you like your rewards to be determined?

I think the rewards dropped after winning a battle can be very unfair at times. No gears nor character shards are given no matter how fantastic the results. I think it is much more fair to get our rewards based on the performance of the battle.

But when using SIM, rewards dropped should remain random.

Random

You already get additional shards or crystals for playing the battle the first time. After that you just sim away.

Based on Stars earned (no SIM used)

Does that first time outweigh the currency spend on subsequent attempts?

Well the advantage of having the rewards dropped based on performance in battle is that players can be assured that when they spend crystals on energy, rewards are guaranteed. Secondly, it will also encourage players to actually do battles instead of using SIM and spending crystals on them that may or may not even be worth it.
