You get like, 20 just for logging in during the event, and I'm probably remembering incorrectly, but I remember doing it on multiple characters on the same account as well. Not only that, but you could get 1 for 10 Winter/Unleashed Coins, 3 for 25. It's not free if you're actually aiming on like, 12 staring your stuff, but it's not really necessary to use shielding wards in conjunction with MEEs.
My point is, given the amount you get, an unfunded player could easily just spam them on whatever equips they can get from drops without caring if they boom or not. Let's take a level 110 equip, some random equip they happen to have found in MPE or something. The first star is +9 to whatever stats you have on it at a 60% rate. That's better than pretty much any other scroll we have now, not that there's really any need to compare given that they don't take slots, nor do they require you to use up all the slots on an equip beforehand, so it's not like you're risking a really good scrolled equip or anything. Basically, it's a large stat boost at pretty much no cost at all. They can continue to land more stars, again, without protecting it, for greater stat boosts every time, and if it booms, so what? It was just some random 110 equip, they can easily get more.
I'm not in support of us getting MEEs or anything, but it's not nearly as bad for the unfunded as you guys seem to make it out to be. It WILL help them get stronger, because come on, they're not completely useless to unfunded players and you shouldn't act like they are, but it definitely WON'T allow them to be competitive, in fact, it's pretty much a hindrance on that front, and their existence in the game would only serve to severely widen the gap between the funded and unfunded, given the massive differences in both the amount of MEEs and the equips available for one to use, maybe like, 5 stars if they get really lucky on some random 110/120 equip, vs. 12 stars on a 150 equip.
You get -1 point per scroll pass for every 10 levels below 150 the equipment is. +5 stats for a 110 equip on the first scroll i think, with a 40% boom rate. Certainly does sound like "better than every other scroll" to me. o.o MEEs are trash for 139- equips. One more reason the unfunded get r'aped.
