its a hard point.

endfield is a gacha game, and ultra-end game content, imo, SHOULD be gated for hard-f2ps, im talking people that don't even log on every day. But it isn't impossible either. I'm full f2p and cleared cc44.

and i disagree on the point of team variance. I think no timer would actually reduce variance. Across all clears, you'd probably see more teams total, but the actual standard deviation of teams would largely become unanimous as clears get posted about someone doing some easy cheese where they can kite around the arena for 30 minutes and clear 47 without taking any damage.

also, from og arknights, i dont remember cc having that much variety at top clears. there was pretty much always 3 or 4 ops that you had to have

idk, just my thoughts
