I have noticed that for the past 3 seasons the 5* players are low end but sometimes there are 1 or 2 high end a day after maintenance and that means everyone is bidding on them but I have been told it is coz I am at the high end of my server. Also I don't think scouts will work for you on low levels but seems like you have no choice and it sucks if others have better rates of tokens but have you tried farming tokens?
