4- rinse abd repeat...

Honestly, they only release about 1 a year.... They aren't hard to prep for ...

Rinse and repeat once a month for 2 years.

The name of the game is resource management. I hoard gear, mats, crystals, etc. I was able to unlock Levi 1st time at 6* using crystals, and decided to bring it to 7* the second time also with crystals (because I'm impatient). I didn't have to spend any actual $. If you don't want to spend crystals (or don't hoard them), you could get it for free over a long period of time. Or you can use real $. The whole game is a balance of time & resources. The original Cap ships had to be unlocked slowly over time as well, through the monthly events (which could be refreshed for crystals IIRC, been a long time), so not that different from the old cap ships, other than higher pre-reqs, but that is to be expected as the game gets older and progresses

Agreed, I’m just venting and feel that if you want to have GL reqs then it should be a 7* unlock.

Gotcha. Yea, 7* unlocks would be awesome, given the amount of time & resources just to be able to play the event
