I'd hate to disagree with you, my guy.

I've been playing for almost a year now (F2p, didn't even buy the BP) and I can't even say from the top of my head how many 60s I got. It's just all about resource management.

Yes, getting your first one to 60 is intense but it gets easier for every one that follows after. 

Bringing characters to level 60 is a long term thing, yes, and you have to make choices on who to prioritize. But although I certainly wouldn't mind getting a few more chickens here and there, I don't think that part of the game is really a problem. 

For your calculation, you are overlooking a lot of things: you get one energy refill from daily quests, one from the time-based daily rewards, and then a couple more from the weekly quests that you can do every 5 days. Plus some irregular extra energy from login rewards, gifts from Plarium or rewards from events/tournaments. And last but not least: as long as your energy level is below the cap, it refills automatically, so depending on when / how often you login during a given day, you could get several hundred energy on top of all that from the automatic refilling. 

Adding all that up, you can do far more runs in a day and so level up faster. Though on the other hand, you also need energy for the minotaur and potion keep runs to get your character fully ascended and masteries unlocked, plus of course dungeon runs for their gear.

I agree with LXZY. It is hard for your first one and is still a pain from there on but part of the game as F2P is being selective and strategic in your choices. 

I somewhat agree with you. The other posters have a fair point, in which you have to manage resources strategically. 

Chickens should be obtainable in some other ways rather than being at the end of most tournaments and events. Maybe like weekly milestone to get 1 5* chicken? The milestone would be like beating dungeon bosses above certain level a specific amount of times, or certain amount of arena battles.

This would allow you to rank up one hero to 6 star once every 5 weeks (which is fair considering that you'd have to do no farming whatsoever).

On a different note, no matter how much we suggest these kind of things Plarium will not care if they don't benefit economically from this.

Most will agree that gringing food isn't the most enjoyable part of the game and we all will welcome any improvements in this area.

 But the fact is - the game is build that way on purpose. They want it to be slow and unenjoyable, so the next time you see that "best chicken deal" you will be more open to buy it. 

And it works, obviously. Not for us, but for Plarium it goes work for sure.
