correct. It is does depend on what it is your account status and related to parts at L50 and 3v3 availability and gold reserve to risk plus parts at disposition.
For example, O.D FARM can go for L20 post this summer after I max parts around. My account is powerful enough to no need to buy items at this point so spending money there is no point because I can achieve R1 in the 3 seasons. Then having an account like that and farming every day, I can get some millions every week and put the factory to work and does takes long to get the order released. Now, I do have 415 premium boxes in reserve, if I open those boxes, I might get something useful "maybe" and will need the gold to max part or parts. In my OKI account, I do have enough inventory for a year maybe longer to max items and using L20 factory is pointless to risk even I can get maybe a weapon in need but is too much gold when I have some weapons to enhance for other configurations.
