People can already do that.. while an event is happening. How come I didn't think of that earlier?

I guess you don't understand how to effectively use your time nor do you understand the concept of decisions. You place value on what you want to do. If you really want people to spend time to level up, then tell them to go level up and skip an event. That way they can go into the next event with a stronger team instead of gaining a unit they will have a hard time leveling up while also going into the next event with that still weak team.

Oi, lolix, i would like to ask if you even read my post on the last page.

I will ask you the simple question:

We have two silver rogues, Cecily and Harissa. Are you going to get them both to 50CC50 and use them? I can understand EVENTUALLY max affing them for scenes, but are you going to use them? Feed every extra copy to them to make them "great" units?

If the answer is yes, then i guess i am out of this case.

If the answer is no, then you have to know that MANY event units will be just as useless as that Harissa/Cecily you just skipped raising fully. Will you still work on getting all those "useless" units to max skill and CR by mashing an event?

Because if not, then these events are the perfect ones to only 3star and get a copy of the unit from. The rest of those events you can do dailies at your own leisure and fill up your stock of items again. We will get MANY of those "useless unit" events in the future and we will most likely even be told this or be able to deem this ourselves ahead of time.

So in this case, we will not need breaks because all the units we get and won't use will overwhelm us and we can spend all those events just getting more rubies from phalanx 2.

i actually got both silver thiefs cc-ed, lol ,for the H scenes. Harrisa is even max cr-ed and i use her as a very fast deploy unit...even more then cypria purely becasue of cost tenhou.

edit :eab - I'm pretty sure i said that we don't have those at the moment , nor does it seem like we have any revival event planet soon yet. Not saying that we won't have those in the future tho , so not sure how you got that. Also my hypothetical scenario involved people stoping to play entirely >> which is legit one of the most likely outcome in my case if we keep going at this pace. Not sure why would u believe i said that people would leave for said server.

That's clearly a preference thing and you'd get far more mileage out of a mincost soldier. Both rogues are easily replaceable and the number of situations where they would actually being useful are small.

You would choose to focus your resources on mincosting them anyway. Fine.

But you would want the game to slow down for you so you could focus on more important units, when that's what you should have done to begin with. That's not fine.

and why the hell are you assuming i maxed harrisa on the course of this 3 event back to back period ? Harrisa was cc-ed and lvled way before. I mincosted her becasue i got a crapload of copies which i had very little use and were simply wasting space. I already have cypria cc-ed as well and literally every other rogue cc-ed as well. I still got a couple extra silver rogues in case i will need for cc.

But that is also my point, lolix. You won't be maxing every little unit you have will you? I can understand getting them to 30 and CCing to eventually aff them for scenes, but max leveling and stuff for many units is rather stupid. Which is what i want to get to with events - we will get many of those useless units in them too, that is how we get a break so to speak since they'll be in the same position as those silver units you never care to max out :P

tenhou i get the feeling people are either dense or intentionally playing stupid. I am nost asking for large breaks , or even very often breaks. I asked for a couple of days once every 1-2 months or so (depending on what events we get). Assuming u get 1 week after 3-4 events , in which u will get 3-4 units , and assuming u do the monday dailies and the cristal dailies like we all do , would u have time to raise 300 aff items in 5 days ? Obviously not , unless u use SC , so from the start , we're all expecting we won't get perfect units. But getting a few days to do other stuff then event without having to sacrifice either a event unit (no matter how bad it is , most events give plats. Even a bad plat like shiho for example is probablu better then a non min cost caliope for example) , which free players don't get that many off. Especially newer ones.

I don't recall subscribing to the "Break or no-break pros and cons" thread
