Quote from Hei;175154:
That's a pretty good point. I wished that they only do that kind of stuff with fashion items, but it's pretty lame to happen to things that affect game play.
It means a few things..
1. The game is dying and they are desperately trying to revive player base.
2. They want to earn a lot more money from events like this (and over here they just released succubus army outfits a while back with gachapon and a lot of people actually lose money because of this)
3. They are going to add in new damage-adding items in future generations so it doesn't matter if they release something gamebreaking right now.
However...if they are not being wise...this might be a sign that future gamebreaking items will be from gachapon, which is surely not a good sign. They're going to make this game less accessible to new players by doing this, reputation of game alone will scare the newcomers away or disillusion weaker-willed existing players (and there are too many of these type of players in the game).
One point is that this makes the Peaca middle enchant Steel Needle obsolete, which is pretty sad considering how challenging this dungeon is. Events like this screws up worth of dungeons.
I think JP server was the first to have whatever Neko ancient/darkness set. I wonder what made the other servers get something like this as well. This does mean something but I don't know what.
