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!My math still tells me is better to skip tiers. Here what I got doing it on my tower:
T6 3️ to T7 - 75.8B
T7 1
T7 2
T7 3
T7 3
T8 1
T8 2
T8 3
T8 3
Total spent from on updating from T6 3
T6 3

Why not skip tiers, we've pretty much always skipped 
why would you upgrade, knowing there’s a dorm update coming and they weren’t clear on how stuff was gonna unfold?Maxing my whole dorm with t8 gave me more stats overall and I still have a good majority of my refund. Ngl this update was hella good for everyone 200mcs and below. Rip to the big dawgs tho. I’d be livid and seeking refunds from the
On ata day they told us to go ahead and upgrade like normal and it would help us when we got the update. Now come to find out that’s not the case at all
and you believed these dudes when their whole purpose is to milk us for as much money as possible before this game dries up?Displeasure

Kinda show that they only do things in their own interest. We gonna be on the losing side.
People with 98/98 dorm rooms unlocked don't get a refund because the dorm rooms are just as or more expensive to fully unlock? The beginning tiers are cheaper which is why smaller accounts are getting refunds, but the later tiers are more expensive. My next dorm room unlock is like 3T more expensive than it was previously.

What are you on? The update hasn’t rolled out to us yet. We still have T14s
They’re making it too easy to grow at the start…Actually what she’s saying is we don’t get a refund for dorm rooms with 98 open. Because dorm rooms get more expensive the more you open. We only get refunded on the dorm mate side not the dorm room sideWhat are you on? The update hasn’t rolled out to us yet. We still have T14s

Shouldn’t that mean it’s easier to calculate ? Which means faster rollout?
Maybe someone can help me understand this.
I have 87/98 dorms opened. 24 of these dorms are empty, but opened.
I did receive a refund for spending on dorm mates.
I did not receive a refund from unlocking dorm rooms.
From the screenshots I have seen from several other players these refunds came immediately on the same day players received the update.
Each update was something along the lines:
Spending on Dorm mates:
As part of our dorm mate and room rebalance, xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx has been refunded to your bank (Mr Cash) from your spending on dorm mates.
Unlocking Dorm Rooms:
As part of our dorm mate and room rebalance, has been xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx refunded to your bank (Mr Cash) from your spending on unlocking dorm rooms.
I reached out to support and they offered little explanation, redirected me back to the forum post, and proceeded to close my ticket. I have since reopened it.

I never received refund!! Some received 200t to 500t refund and new players with small stats, why try....Ata will screw you one way or another. They did me 10 years ago, still not able to retrieve old account lmao.
I was 290mcs before update girl, several people just upgraded wrong without asking anyone
Take into consideration, I said you should stop complaining about it. Everyone lost some type of stats with the upgrade. I was originally around 350mcs and got a 1.2q 1.3q refund due to the way my dorm was set up which is how they DID the refunds. When they did the refund I lost about 40mcs off of my stats, and by actually talking to someone else and learning about how the ug worked, I moved from 310mcs to the 681mcs I am now.
You either upgrading wrong or crying about the amount they give you does nothing. Only makes you miserable on a game. Yall are trying so hard to prove a point that doesn’t exist. Yall lost mcs, everyone did in one way or another. Genuinely if this is how easy it is to make yall cry about something I pray for you. This has to be exhausting lol, either way. My only comment on it, womp to the third power.
