I only got freaking 5 out of 10 golds and im not whining, heck i got 5 golds and 3 plats as well as 10 SC and entertainment. Some people are realy spoiled.

Your perspective is valid (free units and SC isn't something to complain about, for sure). My issue is twofold:

1) It's a celebration event, not a mid-June or whatever Gold rush, so essentially forcing all but the luckiest people to spend SC for Erun (currently exclusive to this event) at least was a cheap-shot IMO. Yes, spending 5 SC might net you a silver instead in the shrine, but there is no way to get her other than this past event at present, the drop rates were pretty crappy too.

2) Maybe that's how Gold Rushes normally work but... there's no logical reason to cut it off early except to make you feel rushed and have to spend SC.

Side note: The "increased XP for Gold+ units" thing we got over the weekend was not only a whale-inviter, it was spotty as hell. Event-exclusive units apparently included Cyrus (who appears in TP and Shrine), Kerry (Shrine as well), Saki (TP only), etc. Trust me, I compared XP gain from these units with that from Garret, Julian, Stray, etc. And if you're going to argue Kerry appeared in the event, so did Kojuro and he got the boost.

Kerry should have given the full 750 xp at level 1, how much was she giving for you? 250?
Cyrus should have given 1500, no idea why he wasn't counted as one. Only used a Bernice myself, the one I got from Gold Rush, and she did give the proper 3x XP.

Edit: Just checked. Kerry gives the expected 750XP, as does Gina. Julian and Barbastroff give 1500. A CC60 Cyrus gives 1930 while a CC60 Barbastroff gives 2680, which is the 2X you said.

Cleared Total Domination. Only manage to get max 500 once. After that, I kept failing LOL

No idea, how I got max 500, fluke

I was using Shrine-drawn 20s, but Cyrus (same-class bonus for Garania/Sasha) gave WAY less than Kojuro, for example. Think it wasn't Kerry I used after all, but I know TP units got gypped (Saki and Cyrus are both TP units, maybe they decided those readily available units shouldn't get the boost? Didn't have spare Akanes or Spicas to try it on). Themis didn't seem to give the bonus, but maybe I'm wrong about that, I'd have to double-check.

Hm... considering the ones I KNOW I checked are Cyrus and Saki, both TP units, maybe that's it? TP units and obviously the event plats/golds. Meh, I'll have to re-check when I get home. I was pretty annoyed when I bought Saki dupe for CR/SU and it was normal XP lol.

Rule of thumb is that if it gives full RCs when discharging, it will have the XP multiplier. Unsure about Cyrus, but the TP units (Saki, Akane, Spica) should not be benefiting from the multiplier.

Cyrus gives 20 RC (unless a recent patch changed that), but no XP bonus. There was the idea of "farming" RC via Cyrus TP spam but 100 DC per 20 RC is a bad ratio, considering how Stamina heavy that is makes it non-viable without SC or a couple months per 20 RC.
