There is a difference between people who think they're vets and those who actually are. By the second day of the event the frontliners here already reached E6, and JP's first frontliner already cleared E7 hard and posted it on Twitter. People stuck at e3/e4 are simply refusing to acknowledge that they are attempting a difficulty above that which was meant for them, and they pay for maintaining that illusion in having to spend a much larger amount of resources in failed tries and getting a lot fewer drops. It's still a legit way to do things, if feeling better about your fleet's potential is more important than getting more drops. Everyone plays for a different reason after all. From what i know, people who cleared E7 hard before the dev announcement all spent thousands of dollar for the purpose, and also before the dev announcement that X/Y node weakening effect were not detected even though some people does have beat those nodes before reaching boss at that time.
