This is because when you get a new dormmate, they are still 1/5th of what you spent. Skipping is bad now because in your example a person can have easily 40 t7 3 stars or 5 t8 3 stars, which is way more stats than a singular tier 9 base thus more stats meaning more money per hit. Ofc if you have a lot of money then from refund or volley, you can skip tiers at start, but in longer game its hard!
so like can anyone answer why everyone is receiving their refunds at the same time (for dorm mates and unlocking dorms) but i only receiving one. & when i sent in a ticket it was closed and said refer to forum but i don’t see that being answered here so? ATA do better.
