Yeah, sounds like a fair deal for both sides.

Today 100% of the guards I've found were 8.7m ones (so far). It's realy annoying 'cause I'm totally stuck.
Yesterday I bougth an Elixir with Pero, and used on a 8.7 guard...
...and then I got another 8.7m guard immediately after.

Well, I'm not gonna try that again, lol

It feels oddly weird when one of your pero friends take out something you expected to take a while.
"360k damage with a full seduction, YARRR!!!"
-> Silvi deals 4m damage in two hits
-> boss dead
"How the heck? 0.o"

Because he has all the slayer cards, possibly even max leveled. This is what I was talking about with the paying players currently having an enormous advantage. I've even tried buying some event gacha, but all I got was the R card. Not nearly enough to get me caught up. My only chance is to get both the SR cards. Until then, I'm slowly falling more and more behind.

I was at rank 98 after the first day, and now I'm pushed back to almost rank 350.

Yeah, that is an insane advantage. Another one being that there are cards exclusive to them. I mean, sure, they said you can get the event gachas from elite explore, but i haven't found anything yet with like 10k stamina spent. I really hope they change that, because having exclusives like that is a shitty move. In aigis you can get the same units, but the ones that pay can just get them faster. Hoping it will be similar in the end. Also wanting that damn fox girl from the event gacha box. Is she also exclusive to the box or can you get her later on? :<

Heck i'm sitting at rank 253 atm, but that's only because i am pretty much online whenever i am not sleeping, checking for guards to spend focus on every 5-25min while doing other stuff.

I would disagree. I think at least some cards should be hard/impossible to get as free players. Other games make it too easy to get by as a free player with little to no disadvantage. Maybe a lot of people like that, but I'd prefer the game gives more reason for myself and others to support it. I just wish they would do it in ways that are not completely RNG. If there is anyone on this planet that simply does NOT belong in a casino, that would be me.

Just give the game some time, and even free players will start getting high SED levels, just that it will be at a much slower pace. As cards get added over time, these boss events keep getting easier as our total SED keeps rising. Eventually it will be at a point where even without slayer cards, 8.7 mil bosses will be a breeze. Even so, from what I can gather, there is always some kind of slayer card(s) available to free players.

I guess you're kind of right about having a carrot for paying players by giving a few exclusives. I'd prefer it if their prices weren't so steep, though. Would be more inclined to spend some if the prices got a bit lower. Not saying they should lower them by loads, but as an example i paid 50$ recently to get 70 SCs in aigis, and that's 14 spins at the wheel of fortune so to say.
Can agree with adding ways that are not fully RNG, that'd probably make it easier, for me at least, to justify the price.

That said, i will probably cave in near the end of the event and get a few event tickets. Trying to save up reveal cards for that moment.

That's pretty much how I feel, even with the Gacha box system you're most likely looking up to 3 (most of the time) Event Gachas required plus card reveals to ensure you get the SR when you step it up, and it might be an SR you already have. I would mostly like Nutaku to leave only the new event girls in the box. I think there was 8 new SR girls and 17 in the box...at least lower that disparity please.

P.S. Tenhou we just took down a Lv 333 9.03M HP Kasumi, they're getting worse!
