How can you know if you don't actually talk to them, or have access to actual data? You're just throwing a wild guess out there without any proof.

Secondly, just getting the Event SSR weapons and Eidos is not the only way to get good. It certainly is the primary way, imo, but you also need to get new Kami to have access to different skills and combinations. Those are only obtained through Jewels and Tickets (especially for F2P players). Also, just having the weapons/eidos isn't good enough, you also need to Skill Level the weapons for them to really be of use and you can't do that without materials, which can also be obtained from the rewards as well as part of the rolls from tickets and Jewels. Oh, and don't forget that you need Gems to Limit Break said weapons that you are farming, as well as the Eidolons and Kami. Those are part of the rewards as well. Oh and books for the Final Limit Break of SR and SSR Kami as well as FLB SSR weapons now. All part of the rewards.

To me it seems that all of the rewards are fairly important to anyone that wants to get strong enough to stand on their own.
