We going to ignore the spider legs maul unloc requirement

Personally I couldn’t care less. With their latest massive cash grab strategy, insanely boring colosseum and brain dead “gameplay experience”, I actually don’t care what the requirements are.

I’ll take a look at it when all the toons leave the Era Prison. 

Seeing how there is actually zero point in getting stars for my toons, I'll completely stop wasting crystals on shard packs while the toons are still in Era Prison. When shards goes to shipments I can get double the amount, and since I can't use my 5-6 star era toon for basically anything, why wouldn't I just wait?

Maybe these requirements will squeeze a bit more money from the largest whales, but for "dolphins" like me there is no longer ANY reason to spend on unlocking toons early - they won't really unlock early and they won't get me the new legendaries the first time around any way.

And what do I care if I need to go to R7 or R8 to unlock the legendary the second time? I don't! I have piles of the gear and relic materials needed. And since the gear needed for the new toons is spoiled at the begining of an Era, I have plenty time to plan out my gear farming plan, should there be anything I need to farm.

So again: Thank you CG for making the decision extremely easy. I'll stop spending on toon unlocks, hoard materials and crystals and wait for the toons to leave the Era Clown Car.
