It’s a thing, a lot of people have gotten it after watching an ad to get that extra card.
Speaking of unrealistic, SM has had some pretty outlandish glitches, have you heard of the super duper cannon?
Week 20: been too long, don't remember what exactly has happened between last time or before, so I'll just give a general overview.
10.2M gold, 2.7K tokens, still level 250 (10 months later)
Inv: 121 max items, 63 of which are divine
Arena shop still maxed, 15K AC, still no base, always above 100 AP
Campaign: 100% 1v1, 100% 2v2, 92% 3v3 (gave up on that as it was too hard)
Still in WLGang though less active so I have a copilot
I joined SM from SSundee when he first posted it, and I agree that it will get new people. But then those people will leave almost immediately because of the slow progression and no updates.
And I don’t think raiding his comments is plausible. There are about 200 of us in the forums/community but only about 30 of us would actually do what you suggested, and with a fan base of 18M 30 people is tiny.
Oops i forgot this existed
Week 16.5:
+1.2K tokens (1.3K), +700K gold (10.8M)
+400 arena coins (14.3K)
+2 max items (heat fortress, phys fortress)
Cleared 2% of 3v3 campaign (90%) (This is the part where it gets hard, and glitchy :/)
Boosting is when you manipulate matchmaking to match up with a specific person or clan, and once you match with them give them a free win, boosting their AP.
This isn't widely used because it's seen as dirty by many in the community.
