So decided to take a cue from ahnald and start banking energy to get as close as possible to a day 1 unlock for GL Luke, only to find a little surpriseTried a few different number combos and it looks like once you're over 2k energy you can't purchase anymore with crystals. I call shenanigans. Looks like they forgot something in the update notes...

It's not an oversight. The cap was added to prevent you from using crystals to get infinite energy. There is not only no good reason for them to disallow buying packs that give energy with money, but there are plenty of bad ones. Most notably, you never want to tell a paying customer that they can't give you their money.

Not arguing against their being a cap, but not OK with their being ways to circumvent it.

he got daily energy, and if you watched his one video he used all his google play points to get the small enhancement bundle about 67 times giving him over 10,000 energy

Which vid did he use all the Google play points? In his "PSA" he only opened two bundles to show how much energy.

Regardless all of that happened before the forced client restart. And on top of that it seems a little counter productive for them to allow you to collect free energy and outside sources but yet you can't buy them with crystals.
