Yes. Shop events are for people with tons of credits or those who are willing to spend huge amounts of real life money to buy the best commanders right away without waiting and saving for months if not years. That is why, the prices are almost the same in shop for the last 3 months. For example, 3 months ago, Rick was 28k, last month he was also 28k and this month he is 27k. 3 shop events and only 1k discount... that is a joke! Chest events are cheaper, because you will get way more bonuses for opening all chests, for obtaining 1x DNA and for composing the commander. Besides, there is a tiny (like 1%) chance that you will get "lucky" and will get the DNA 1-2 chests before the last chest and with that, you will save like 5-9k credits. Probability of that is extremely low, but still it can happen
