For those who are able to pay, they have enough time to farm Phoenix to 5-7*. Some F2P may be able to get to 5* or further. That's what it means. Pretty cut and dry.

I pay some shackles here and there and won't get phoenix to five star because I'd have to pay more than I prefer. This event was handled poorly. You simply can't require a group whobhasnt even farmable until a week ago and expect people not to be upset
