Well sure, I agree that the flood gates for resources have been opened and it's much easier these days than when the game first released. I've been playing since day one so I know the pain. I started a new account on another device just for fun and see what drops I could get and I'm getting 5 star eddies and toons before beating the Underworld. in the beginning I had the underworld beat and still sitting on only 4 star toons. It was tough.
As stated before, my beef - and I imagine others as well - is with the lack luster event. Not the rewards specifically. I know there are those that complain about the rewards, but most of us just wanted a unique event. Not a regular arena event, that's all.
