Aether Raids, Boost Explanation.
Okay, so, we're here all panicking over Aether Raids being P2W now. So lets get this straight.
If some sweaty nerd, P2W, gets merges, all it does is boost his rank up, it doesnt make it harder to raise your Tier at all. Tiers remain the same. The only difference is going to be the tippy top of players, in which most cases will always remain the same in any case. Tiers aren't blocked, they aren't closed off, the only difference is the rankings
I would understand if this was like arena where the top percentile made it in and the others didn't, but this isn't that. This is aether raids. Your lift is based on how you play, not on how fast you score said points. The only difference is that, to reach said higher tiers, you'll need to play in a very efficient way, and I mean really, really efficient, that's everything.
You can call me an apologist, some crazy IS lover. I'm just looking at this from an objective standpoint. Do what you will, but before you go on saying the higher tiers are now "locked" behind paywalls, remember that they aren't.
PS Clarification Post to an earlier post I made, incomplete, of course.

Umm, I don't think that's the point.
It's a gaccha game, they have to make money somehow. They made it before with LHB's, now we have Mythics. I honestly just see this as another LHB type situation. While LHB's apply to Arena and Arena Assault, this applies to Aether Raids. Literally not that big of a deal.

Yeah I fear people who aren't happy with the update or certain parts can get... Salty.
It's not that I don't get that. But tickets and this with aether raids pushing orb sales isn't exactly new or unexpected.
It's a bit scummy, but it ain't anything new. And not nearly as bad as BST+merges in arena.

It's currently impossible to ever reach tier 21 without at least 300 points of mythic-unit boost, and that's assuming you play every round perfectly and never lose any lift on defense.
I'm not saying the sky is falling or anything, but this is not a great fix to that problem.
