Is Coliseum a scam?

Question

Something nefarious seems to be going on with Coliseum. I think if you spend some money but not enough money CG won’t let you get past tier 5 unless you spend more money.

My toons are all 7 star and level 55 and I can’t beat any tier 5. There are people with 5 and 6 star level 50-55 toons who score more points than I do. I’m not sure how that’s possible. How are people who seem to have spent way less money getting more points than I am?

I’d say I’ve spent like $50-80 on getting my toons to level 55, plus another $100 on crystals to get those toons to 7 star, but now I feel like I’m being punished for not spending enough money to get my toons higher than 55. I thought if I could get them to 55 I’d be good and could get to higher tiers to get my toons to level 70.

I also can’t get past 91% on any of tier 5. No matter what I do. I feel like CG made last Coliseum easier so when this one started we had expectations that we’d get our toons to level 70 or so. This Coliseum is way harder and way less fun. I know it’s also designed to frustrate us so we spend money.

Overall this just annoys me to the point that next Coliseum I won’t spend any money. It’s not worth my time, money, or frustration. Coliseum isn’t fun anymore and it’s way more expensive to unlock new toons than it was before Coliseum. I feel like CG is punishing people who spend money but not enough money.

I believe your max tier is gated to your total Era Level - combined level of Era Toons. Stars don't play a factor in that.
So pushing your era toons all to lvl 60 would be meaningful - pushing to 7 stars is not (of course stars have their own separate meaning).

The whole Era system is of course monetized. &nbsp;It’s not a scam, per se. &nbsp;it’s to reward heavy spending only. &nbsp;If you spent $1300-$1500 per era, roughly 3 months, your reap major rewards from the game. &nbsp;If you don’t spend you get less. &nbsp;CG deliberately has gone silent to drive FOMO and confusion amongst those who don’t get their information here, Reddit or discord. &nbsp;Last era they racked in cash because no one knew how the system works. &nbsp;They’re still raking in cash, but not as much if public sources are to be believed. &nbsp;I’m having a similar issue. &nbsp;I’m era level 55 and can’t move up. &nbsp;It’s all gated content designed to frustrate players into believing if the spend a little here and there they will succeed only to hit another wall at the next tier. &nbsp;
