yes the 5* exchange was prolly done with the power creep of 5* in mind. they are always made stronger or better because as a player and zynga point of view what are the use of events and RS if their daemons are just as strong as their current ones. art is a good factor and motivator for players but its usually the skill and stats that really sells the daemon. before Ntr are the norm>slight inc high trigger>great inc high trigger everyone who was active in events specially gcq/scq have experienced nice upgrades from their previous teams

the only problem I see is the pace of the powercreep. this time last year the strogest 4* were some RS ones and helper daemons 9500/9500 and before, a 23-24k total stats and 170-180k cq hp were perfectly accpetable but now a 200k hp is easily achievable and total stats of 26k doesnt even enter most veteran players cq team(mostly due to recent gcqs and coincidently along with the +1 day raises the cutoff for solo cq FH since more players can go thorugh the previous lv 100 barrier with few items) pulling any 5* that is not a recent limited rs/helper daemon would usually get sold off to apples immediately(except for new cash players with low level)

yeah I agree that some of them should be placed in the SST pool so people will have some initiative to invite other players and complete their story for a chance of 5*/3 ga
