No worries, I don't call you anything. Everybody here is a free man, not a number :)
100% agree. I'll only ever spend Ironite on souls if something like Krampus, Coalgiver or The Beast pops up, but other than that, I'm saving Ironite for the better events. Never spending money either, I'd much rather wait forever but finally pull one out of the blue rather than spend money and receive nothing. Feels more earned that way, but that's just me.
Too many numbers and statistics in here...
Bought 6 souls at the start.. then a couple more here or there as I had the ironite... total of about 9 souls "purchased" maybe ... nuthin but 3 stars...
Wasn't really "grinding" the event. Running 1 full SOT daily and playing PvP (Good that even PvP counted towards event achievements, keep that up Devs).
Ended up completing 3 of the event achievements for another 5 souls.... 3 star, 3 star, 4 star, 3 star, Baroness... left with 100 frags. So, yeah the very LAST soul dropped her.
