I hope it won't stay the way it is, because the current fire crystal requirements are mad. They essentially triple the crafting costs.
Leveling a 4* item to level 10 takes up as much as 800 ce, in the value of the fire crystals.
Am I the only one noticing this?
The new heating/leveling system

There have been many threads about the new heating system. You are definitely not the only one complaining.
I haven't heated anything under the new system, but I find myself awash in fire crystals. I mean, I find gobs of them. Do you find a lot, but just not the 4-star ones you need? Try doing missions on Elite difficulty?
I agree on the more F2P aspect, but it's still a pain. They might drop all over the place, but only in the appropriate tier. The 4* crystals drop in lower T3... I usually play higher T3, which washes me in 5*. And even so, after many runs and over 100 5* crystals, just one level up took more than half of those. [At level 8]
I haven't seen any other threads, they must be buried under the sprite threads, oops.
By the way, I'd prefer you say lower T3 to refer to Stratum 6 and higher T3 to Stratum 5 since we are going deeper, then again simply saying Stratum 5 or even S5 takes less characters than "Lower Tier 3" anyway.
By the way, form what I've heard on Elite it's just D19-D21. That's just 3 levels to grind for 4* orbs/fire crystals.
And it sucks.
The difference is fire crystals drop all over the place, and there's a chance of failure/bonus with every level up.
It's more F2P than the old CE system.
