330 shards for a character, and AFTER 1 YEAR WAITING CG gives us 20 shards per month.

So, after a toon release, you can play with the character for free in 29 month!
So 2 years and 4 month.

CG, stick your stuff you know where..

If you would consider refreshing P2P, then lets not forget, 5 sims a day is free with a 33% drop rate, and F2P are managing that just fine

So you don't see any difference between a 6 months farm (which f2p managing fine) and a 29 months farm (this CapitalGreediness).

No more questions needed.

How is this a 29 month farm though?
Are you basing that on 0 shards during the release conquest and 0 refresh of the proving grounds event?

With red box, which can be obtained F2P, it’s 3 months.
Depending on crate achieved it will be less than 17 months of proving grounds, with zero refresh.
You can save crystals F2P and that will cut down the time needed after the unit goes to proving grounds.
This really doesn’t seem that different from how legendary toons used to be released with a gated event every 3 months, which you needed to gear a bunch of toons for.

How long do you guess will it take if you started playing after it was in conquest crates (maybe because of a break) and didn't buy any shards?
