As per CG_capsgasp:
"As we've just announced this event will be returning in the new year, it's time to share that it's had a few tweaks and updates:
Requires: Droids
7 Tiers, including a Bonus Tier
Now possible to obtain any Jawa shard (roughly equal chance at any of the 5)
No longer costs energy to play
Difficulty re-balanced to accommodate mods for tiers above level 60
Each tier has 3 encounters, up from 1
First event to use our new "style guide" for Event descriptions/naming
Tiers 1-6 only require a minimum of 3 droids, while the bonus tier (7) requires a minimum of 5."
Nowhere within this post does it mention TWO total battles per day. NOWHERE. Nowhere does it say you do 2 fights then must pay the 250 crystal refresh. I don't care that it's 250, it could be 10K crystals for refresh and I wouldn't take the bait, BUT as the tiers all say "REQUIREMENTS MET", but after 2 fights the requirements are not met and no fight may be done without forking over our HARD EARNED CRYSTALS. please please Pleeeease tell us there is a mistake because I spent my cash on this game because I love it I wish to play for years, I don't want to get soured on this experience. Plase explain why this has happened, and make it RIGHT. Love ya, CG/EA , but damn...
Kudos.
