Last Event

Hello,
I have just participated in my last event in a real competitive manner. I am just curious if others have seen what I just went through. I was rated in the 700s with less than 30 minutes left. I kept an eye on it, and it started dropping. No biggie, I expected it. I had 1300 chrom… so was ready to go. I spent the next 30 minutes playing events as fast as I could just to watch me go down in rank fast. So.... why would someone fall so fast WHILE they were playing as fast as they can? How can this happen? And why should I continue to participate in them if this is the norm. Obviously I am missing something, and was hopping others will fill me in.

Sounds about right.

I was at 3600 or so with 24 hours left. I simply played hard and turned in.
I don't bother to save rares, spent 2 supply kits and roughly 13,000 chrons (I save a lot of both). Had Harriman at 4/4 and Morgan at 3/5. I usually don't try hard unless I have bonus crew. I had good crew for the faction part of the hybrid but I don't think that matters.
I dropped over 650 places in the last 45min as I couldn't get back on to play. Finished 1055
Without a revamp and extension of the reward structure, and more access to 5* characters, this game just doesn't have any incentive for me to spend any money on it any more. Even the $10/10 packs deal isn't worth it since the pool of crap is just too large.
The Pull of Crap is real. DB doesn’t even get my 3.99 a month anymore. How they treat us customers is f$cking ridiculous.
This is hard to do in a Skirmish or Expedition due to the nature of those event types and gets phenomenally expensive to do in Faction events.

A lot of the people who put lots of resources into galaxies don’t just maximize voyage dilemmas a couple days during events, they do it every day for months in a row. Not only do they build up the chrons to succeed in galaxies but also a bunch of 0/1 star components.
It’s not ok for those that were pushing for higher rewards.
This is true, but the argument that every player ranked 1001-1500 would make with CS is that they would have / could have gotten to <1000 if only the bonus structure wasn't nerfed. It's hard for DB to prove otherwise (or it's not worth the hate), so they concede the argument. Remember, nobody really cares anymore about the incremental "other" rewards for ranks 26-1000 (merits, trainers). Only the bright line at 1000 is what matters for most players.
I feel your pain, friend. Success in Galaxy events requires tens of thousands of chronitons and/or a significant amount of pre-farming. Galaxy events are winnable by anyone with enough preparation but for casual players, pretty much all events are out of reach, Galaxies included.
If this is a fun side diversion for you, just sit back, relax, and wait for your favorite characters to come along. It might take a while but there is a lot less stress in the meantime.
New-ish player here. What do you mean by this?
Do your galaxy builds to earn the rare items, but save them all and turn them in towards the end of the event (some do it in the last few hours, others the last half hour, others cut it closer to the end). Some do this, others turn them in as they go.
You shouldn't need to spend $50 to rank under 1k. F2P players have come in 1st in galaxy events. I've ranked under 1k in any galaxy event I wanted to and never spent a cent on the event. The key to galaxy events is preparing in advance and pre-farming your items. The chrons you earn and use in the days before the event to pre-farm are a lot more than what you got from your $50 purchase.
Using money for rank never made sense for me. Especially in galaxies when you end up burning the chronos with nothing to show for it.
