Well if you are someone who was going to spend 5k+ gold this month on the game anyway, you'll generally get much better results from this than doing 10+1s from the gacha. It may be a worse deal than the last one but those people probably bought that one too, and it's still a heck of a lot better than 10+1 pulls.

As a free player though none of this is really relevant to me, I'm just sad that there isn't a FG option.
