Continually unreasonable Event Tour requirements

The perpetually increasing difficulty with each new event is getting out of hand. If you must kowtow to the few whales that you have out there in favor of the 99% of players who are not spending thousands of dollars at a time, you should do it by ADDING difficulty modes instead of bumping Normal mode to the point where someone who doesn’t spend obscene amounts of cash on the game and hasn’t been playing since the beginning might actually be able to get to Hard mode even if they can’t beat it.

Case in point: the Keith Lee powerhouse focused What a Year Tour. The second opponent is Walter at 2431 talent. My second best powerhouse is Kevin Nash at 4899 — more than double the talent — and it’s impossible to get more than one star in this match. I suppose if there was a game where Walter simply NEVER got a gem of a color he needed and I got one on every single turn, maybe I’d win, but given his abilities he is almost always able to hit his finisher within 3-4 turns and it does more than 50% damage. This is insane. If you have double the talent of your opponent, it should be a guaranteed three star victory in Normal mode no matter what... because it’s Normal mode. Heck, in Normal mode you shouldn’t even need that much talent to three-star it. You certainly shouldn’t need rarer characters at three or four star ratings to be able to get to Hard mode.

And let’s not even get started on the final match of that tour: 5784 Bruno Sammartino?! That’s absolutely insane. Unless you’re a whale, you’re not going to have a powerhouse anywhere near that, and we all know powerhouses as a whole are the worst class against their weakness opponents, needing a much larger advantage in talent against their opponents to be able to three-star them. I mean, quite honestly, it would be more honest to just have the tours and events gated behind paywalls like you do with the Champions Club only ones and explicitly say this: at least you would be upfront about these things to players instead of this nonsense.

I really want to keep liking this game, but your perpetual increase of shady tactics and unabashed spitting on the fans that gave you the numbers early on to get the App Store rankings you got and the hype that built the game in the first place makes it extremely difficult to do so. I used to play this game obsessively, but nowadays it just feels like a chore: do the bare minimum and then get to playing real games that aren’t Gatcha gambling apps in disguise.
