I am not just talking about the tower chests. I think I agree with you about them. I am also talking about the resurrections of monsters and the opening of chests in the shop. That would increase the amount of silver and copper one would win by quite a bit and make some of the quests (like collect 30 Legendary cards, or open chests in the shop five times) go by faster. That is how I suspect some people can complete the events in a single day, while if one just waited for monsters and chests to open by the clock, they must take the whole week, and only make it two-thirds of the way.

You're right about that. Ordinarily (depending on how lucky I am with RNG-ruled Tower chests) I can get to mission 19 or 20 before the PM Event ends. The one time I beat all 25 missions, it was because of items I acquired in the Colosseum event. Unfortunately, those Colosseum events are too few and far between...
That time, I had to Refresh 3 or 4 times until the card I wanted appeared, and still had enough CP to buy the card. That's how I got Pleione and Musher both, and once you have them, it becomes possible to get more out of the appropriate chests so they can be leveled.
I was hoping to pick up Navigator the same way this time around, but with the new pricing, the PM event is completely pointless. At 30K for a Mythic and 5K for a Refresh, if I'm lucky, I might get some new Toys out of it..
This take-away here is that the designers of this game do not understand Gacha Game psychology. They're going for the big spenders, when it's the nickle and dime transactions that actually make the money. Sticker Shock does not work in your favor here. Most people can justify dropping a buck or two on a game, and many of those spread out over days or weeks will add up to the same or more, because their brains don't do long game math. They can reconcile many small transactions. but will balk at huge one-time lump sums.
