>farm higher difficulty raids to at least <49% to get the MVP tokens and MVP chest.
That's not gonna happen until you get to HL rank.
If you're low level, either host meat runs and raids for your crew or just join multple NM 100s for tokens.
By playing casually and doing this shit for like an hour a day, I managed to open 14 boxes last time.
They've already been constantly inceasing the amount of shit that GWs give, down to 2 more characters other than Abby and Naoise.
You're practically begging for gibs at this point.
GW Daggers and GW Characters are not enough of a reason for you to play during GW?
Getting your grids up isn't too hard to be honest, only light and dark may struggle a bit, but even then, building a gun or an axe grid isn't much different than building a grid of any other element.
Just host your magna trains and leech whatever raid you need some extra weapons for the next GW/event, you'll have all your grids up and running eventually.
The elemental resistance is there to prevent massive darkfagging in any gw or event, it's not a matter of making people partecipate (which is bullshit since everyone can help their crew, no matter then rank), it's a matter of not making every GW dark favoured.
