I have so many points to add to this, but to illustrate, here’s 10k points spent the other day. This is how I farm g12 stuff. Scale or double or whatever, don’t nerf this.

That's a pretty big statistical outlier since you got a 4-star character's full unlock. Are you getting those every week? So it's not exactly a very good example to use as your baseline.

The rule of thumb is that you get 1 shard per 1000 tokens on average (which includes getting 1-star character unlocks for their 10 shards). There's going to be a dip in income, but I really don't think it's going to be that major. There are a lot of sources for getting shards that going to be effectively unchanged.

I don't think it's a huge outlier considering the odds of getting a full character. If you sink over 5 figures into bronzium packs you are pretty likely to get something big eventually. I sink about 10k every week or so and almost always get at least a 50 shard repeat unlock.

No you don’t. Not unless you’re the luckiest person in the world, in which case you should buy a lottery ticket.

Every Sunday when I’m done with all my actual stuff, I spend the ~34k ally tokens that accumulated over the week. The average is rough 1 shard per 1000 currency, assuming no 50- or 80-drops. You get one of those every so often, but most certainly not every week. Track it yourself and you’ll see.
