2 stars need to be removed from Featured crystal

If i am spending real money on a featured crystal then it shouldn't be unfair for me to expect at least a guaranteed 3 star. So i think 2 stars should be removed. This is ridiculous. As a loyal MCoC player who knows how much time and effort is put in these games, it's the least you can do. Don't know why i didn't think of this sooner. Thanks.

I paid straight up for 3* Bee & UM and 4* MV1. Not even an energon conversion, just priced in $.
I also paid straight up for a 1 & 2* UM and a 2* GL (fortunately much cheaper than the MV1!)
Then they have the Cinematic crystals. When you complete the hard path of the current spotlight mission, you'll get a 24hr offer for 3 Ultimate Cinematic crystals, which guarantee at least a 3* version of a Baybot but also have excellent drop rates for 4* bots (only BC, Mix, IH & Grindor are in those crystals as a 4*, but all the Baybots except HR & Drift are in there as a 3*). It also comes with 500 4* shards (I think) and some other stuff. It costs 2500 energon, which essentially means you'd be spending real money on it, but that's what you're asking for, right?
I assume when you finish medium, there will also be a 900 energon deal for 1 of those same crystals (at least, that's what happened last month). And I assume the 900 and 2500 energon deals will both be available again in 2 weeks when part 2 of the spotlight mission is available.
So yeah, they do have deals with guaranteed 3* or 4*, but they're not available every week and they're pretty expensive. If you're really saying things are over priced, well, no disagreement from me on that one
1500 Energon spend for this
It doesn't work that way.
The fact is, you are not required to spend money to earn energon in this game. You can earn energon in several different ways. How you choose to spend it, is on you and you alone.
Real money does = better chances it clearly states a better chance at x featured bot
The small chance for getting a 4 star should increase each time you open a crystal until you get one. That would be more fair I think.
Odds are better a bit when you buy the energon. But it really does suck loosing 20 dollars in crystals. Would hate to be the guys who loose hundreds all at once. Ouch!
From a gaming perspective though, adding in an increased chance for a 3* or 4* on successive crystals wouldn't hurt Kabam or the players and would still keep things random enough that each crystal has a chance at anything.
And $20 is barely enough energon to roll for 5 crystals. Anyone spending $50 or $100 on energon should pretty much be able to choose what bot they want.
Hey, i live in Vegas too. :-)
I do think character crystals need an improved chance. Some people are super lucky an snag a 4 star, ability Megatron in a few tries. For the majority however, it's two 3*'s and seven 2*'s per ten crystals.
Earth Wars is a lot worse though. Their character crystals are both more expensive and lower chance of good results. I never bought their crystal packs and glad I didn't after seeing other people's results.
The way I see it, a complete console game is often 60 US dollars. Why are we paying $20 to $40 just for a CHANCE at a single character?
