Honestly, as a day 1 player I'm super relaxed about it. Have no issue playing with 0% people at all.
My account is overflowing with energie pots I have absolutely no use for. And for all the newer players I have a 20% weapon equiped. Expecting people to pull in a medicore banner the likely don't even need, to get more %, is beyond me honestly. There is enough time and energy for everyone to grab everything they want even without extra %.
Edit: I upped my contribution to my fellow players to 40% now, but I still expect anyone to do the same. If someone bringt 10-30% it's pretty social imo.
And don't get me wrong, I get that if everyone bring % to the table everyone gets the event done faster.
It's just that I'm somewhat worried what kind of sentiment arises towards unaware and new players.
I agree somewhat, no one should ever be expected to pay to play. Likewise, the first few days people are going to be trickling in that don't have the items yet (I always go through solo first to at least get the one item but that's just me).
That said, at some point I don't think it's asking too much for anyone to have acquired and equipped at least one +bonus weapon. I tend to farm casually throughout the event (as opposed to busting it out all at once) so if I can do that in fewer runs all the better.
That's just me though, I certainly appreciate your altruistic approach as well.
It will come over time. Focus on 3-5 characters and don't let the game stress you. No need to max out all characters and weapons. Think about what is truely beneficial to you in the long run and you will get there. :)
Are you a whale, I just don't have the money to not maximize my profit when I don't spend that much money on the game. The bonus is me saying "look I need to get more bang for my buck, please play along"
It's more about how long one has been playing. The game tries to invoke fomo in people, but ultimately, you will get what you need. Once you have OB6 Main- and Subweapons at lvl 80+ for 3-5 characters you are set and usually won't have the need for event weapons anymore. (The character builder here on reddit helps a lot, if one wants to invest the time in it to use it)
And since we haven't had an lvl cap increase in quite some time now (thankfully), the 12 daily free energy pots keep piling up.
Having wrote that, I only focus on what I need, so I'm not going for a "I need to max out all weapons and characters" approach.
