Thanks CG_Leviathan (NOT)
Just wanted to say thanks to the developer, CG_Leviathan for “never” responding to my direct message about players cheating! It’s nice to know that players can be heard, and not taken advantage of, and that the developers are here for us to protect the investments we have made into this software. It’s good to see players reaching 7* on toons or ships as soon as they’re released, without having to invest the time that it takes the rest of us to reach it. We appreciate all the work you do to make the game better for them.

Your issue is that people can buy character shards…?
As for the second part on getting 7* new toons immediately, they whale hard on those toons. I don't care if people spend thousands of USD to get the toons. Let them, I'm happy with what I'm doing spending maybe $300 in 5 years. Whaling is not cheating.
You could argue it creates an unfair playing field (and so possibly it’s a language issue if the OP is EAL) if people are competing against each other with some having more resources than others, just as you see in most major sports leagues, but it seems like an odd hill to die on given that it’s how the game has been since it’s inception.
Have you heard of hoarding/buying crystals?
So it’s cheating because I managed my resources better than you? I don’t buy crystals yet I will have enough to unlock and 7* Leviathan when the event comes around tomorrow. This is neither unfair nor cheating, so you’re wasting your breath trying to argue it’s either.
Someone can go to from unlock to 7* with one event easily if they have the crystals. 19 refreshes (max) of the Bonus Tier, plus 5 crystal packs.
Certainly isn't cheating.
So let me get this straight. You complained to CG that someone cheated by spending money?
Mate, you’re not understanding. Getting a 7* Leviathan straight away is achieved by doing the free battle, refreshing 19 times (max amount offered) and then purchasing the packs a few times. That’s how I did it and that’s how so many others did. No cheating involved, just a lot of crystals.
Thank you. I appreciate you saying that. But there are many times where it is impossible to get a 7* immediately, yet we encounter them regularly. If you can only get so many shards at the beginning, then 10 more at the monthly interval, would still take time to acquire, even if you pay the refresh fee. In my experience the refresh fee for those feats only provides you with one more drop; making it impossible to get so quickly without cheating.
Sounds like you’re cheating but trying to obfuscate the truth.
Ahh, thank you. I didn’t realize they increased the refresh rate. I stopped refreshing because of how little you get. I should just stop playing.
Nobody is cheating. Any of these characters you’ve mentioned, you can refresh the bonus tier and max out your new unit. If you don’t want to whale that’s your choice. Choosing to spend money on the game is another, and it is not cheating.
Guess saving up crystals and spending them wisely is cheating y’all!
Depends one what the event is. Capital ships - when they release (or at least the last few), have their first even start at noon (my time anyhow) and run til noon the following day. So, if you're ready day 1, you start it and yes, you get capped at 6* day 1 due to the 20 refresh limit (you need like 25 or so to 7*). However, since the first event starts at noon, the timers reset at midnight (ish) and you get a second crack on day 2. So, in that respect, you can 7* it on the first (and only the first) event. The second event starts with server refesh and ends at server refresh so it's not possible to 7* it in a single subsequent event. So, people ready at the first event essentially get a bare minimum 2 month advantage at 7*.
There’s also pack of shards for sale, but they’re more expensive than the refreshes. It’s possible for any player, if prepared enough, to 7* any CS as soon as they can access the event.
Oops missed this one lol. Guess disregard my post above as redundant.
You what?
Im F2P and because Im top in fleet it took me 2 months to get Leviathan to 7*. In fact if id really saved with RotE and GAC crystal rewards I probably could have done it in the first time around.
The issue here is you're lack of understanding of this resource management and not because others cheat.
