This isn't even the big problem with this game. There are already 7 free tokens in the halloween crate rush. What I don't like about this event is the missions "upgrade rank" and "get blueprints". The name "specialization spree" and the description "use specific weapons and mechs to succeed" entails the event is about using the weapon. But instead the only way to fully complete the event is by obtaining and/or using hard to acquire resources.

Specialization spree is already restrictive, but the thing is that's fine. It's not realistic that a player is going to have every weapon for every specialization spree. But with the 2 bottom missions, you not only have to have the item unlocked but you have to go through a process of grinding that likely isn't even going to get you through the event. Leaving you stuck to pay if you want the final reward. Greedy aggressive monetization really shitty on plarium's part.

Well the pic is just for a reference to similar problems 

Look it is a ftp game , so events shuld not have a task for payment . This is my main point , I've put in about 150-175$ into the game. I understand early access to mechs and weapons , and the fact they need to make money. But I don't think you realize that the game as it is isn't or shuldnt be a full time job except for maybe 1 or 2 people at the most, even then the game is passive income. On top of that what I mean by more friendly towards free too play would be less pressure to spend . More specifically new players fell this pressure the most . And because of this they have lost a large group that would have spent money at a later date . Money that is made off games like this largely relies on long term players . Having events that are unfeasible to complete or you have to pay to complete is unfriendly to free too play players , and dosent really support the game . At least it dosent look good .

 Plus to address your concerns about matchmaking simply removing bots would fix this . Having 1 or maybe 2 on each team would work . Real players are easy too find and target , and who likes fighting bots anyway . If you have 2 full teams of real players things suddenly change . Players with maxed out weapons and mechs become less effective , and can't just farm bots . On top of that targeting the one real player is no longer a sound strategy , you would be forced to focus on the whole team . 

But I will say some questionable business tactics have driven away a lot of players . Making the removal of bots harder , but that's on them . Though if they fix these 2 things I see as problems it might help . And these are my opinions just for the record.

1. Clear tactics to get players to spend in events

2. Overwhelming presence of bots

I understand early access to weapons , mechs every game does this at some point in time . But in my opinion they are expecting too much from something that shuld be passive income .
