As a player whos placed in the top ten consistently for several months- I can tell you: you need to spend money to compete at the top level in dmc. This is a fact. Im ok with this, however, knowing that this was the case going in. But recently SE has obliterated the 5* spawn rates in hunts- you can spend hundreds of $ and not even see the worst type of the worst 5* card drop. Save your money ppl until (if) this is fixed.
