A sound decision. Personally I think waiting for the actual event is the soundest option.

Not that I support this gacha in any way, but there's gonna be a ton of salty people when they roll 100 FG's and don't get Cactace/Camilla in a future gacha.

I don't see how the results of spending flower gems is in any way related to a gacha which can only paid for by Nutaku gold. If they save their flower gems for the bride gacha and don't get a bride, that's just the breaks of being FTP. If, however, someone spends Nutaku gold on the bride gacha and doesn't get one, only then is it regrettable that they didn't take advantage of this guaranteed one.

It's simple, really. I don't place a value of $110 on a single gold, and neither should anyone else, really (don't listen to dumbasses that say bride Cactus is $50, if there was a way to only get her without doing steps 1-5, this wouldn't be as big of an issue).

If you were going to roll more than $100 worth just to get her though, then yeah, you have no one to blame except yourself for passing up this offer, however much of a ripoff it is. Personally, whenever I roll that much, I widen my expectations.

Though given the state of things, if not for the spotlight, it'd be better to just wait for better offers to come down the line.

Saying its $110 for a 5* is also just as incorrect though. Its 110 for 1 5* (bride), 1 6*, 1-2 5*, 1-2 4*, 0-1 3*. =P

Also the $50 for Bride girl is more of an exclusivity argument. You wouldn't go on amazon and value each Prime member exclusive item +100 dollars to include the prime membership would ya?

The point is, it's more like a package deal that you may not necessarily want (especially for people who already bought Cactus in the first rainbow ticket gacha), so it's factually incorrect to say that the bride is only $50.

Businesses do this all the time, though they'll try to mislead you otherwise. It's not "$39.99/month for internet", it's "$39.99/month for internet, cable, and phone lines you may not use but tough shit, you're getting it even if you just want the internet."

You do realize that you can see the price of each step before you even start right? Just click on the 'Important' button and it tells you.

The point you are missing is, this gacha of Cactus 6* it was like Kerria 6* same spend and same benefits, there was a BONUS if you wanted of Cactus Bride, the keyword is IF, if you didn't want to spend on her that much you just wait for it in the 16th event and no big deal, you all doing to much blah blah blah and drowning in a glass of water. The event was made for Cactus 6* and as a bonus YOU COULD buy cactus bride if to expensive for anyone then just wait till they hit the gacha when all the brides arrives. So besides the bonus what difference was this guaranteed of cactus 6* than Kerria's?.

Besides people collecting 6*s by guaranteeds they spend on it because Cactus was not as regular seen as any other like FLower Peach and BB and those other 6*s and people still vote for them, so why dont you go yell at them in favor for the tons of people that actually own those 2 girls?
that what benefits would they get if they alrdy have them and so on??. Is simply people that we got Flower peach and BB we just simply pass in the gacha and don't go yell or cry about it.

Lets take here your example.. its 39.99/month for internet you say.... Lets suppose you dont want the Phone Lines but YOu do want Internet and Cable. So theres a package of 39.99$ for the 3 things, and separated the 2 you want are 45$ so what do you pick? Knowing you should pick the 45$ since you dont FKING Need the phone lines and since you don't need them you rather pay more. Then later when the package expires and you need a Phone line lets say you want it and you have to pay more? or wait for another package maybe not as excellent at first 1?

Is as simple as that some rather buy her like that now and dont fking waste gems to try to roll her later no big deal.

Yeah I totally get it.

Like when Triple A Game companies, like EA or Ubisoft, cut content that was supposed to be in the original game, and then sell it as preorder "bonuses"? Top dollar business model, rite?

Nutaku is in no way trying to exploit those with loose wallets into buying an overpriced, pre-order, early access package with $60 of filler content for a Bride Unit that's supposed to arrive eventually anyways.
They also don't mention on the ad that Bride Cactace isn't (supposed to be) a limited time unit and will (should) arrive eventually in premium gatcha. But EVERYONE who plays Nutaku FKG knows how the Japanese version works right? So it's not like Nutaku is purposefully withholding information to entice those less informed. Right?
If they don't inform themselves about how every bit of the game works, it's the customers fault, right?

It's not like they alienate any customers that already have 6* Cactace with this deal, catering to fresh spenders instead right?

Yeah, let's just all collectively bend over for Nutaku.

I can't wait till they host the Orchid Bride Step-Up gatcha, where you have to pay $50 for 5* Orchid first to get to 6* Bride Orchid.
IT'S A BONUS!

Anyway, your logic is so full of holes that it'd be pointless for me to go through them all. As mentioned, this gacha hurts people who don't want and/or already have 6* Cactus, but still want 5* Cactus. It sets a dangerous trend for when later 5* variants get released. I don't want to have to double-dip on Sakura to get her apron counterpart, or Hanamomo for her June Bride.

Your logic is just as faulty as the argument that I'm somehow not allowed to blame you guys for indulging Nutaku into letting them rip you off, but you "blame" me for whaling FGs before the rainbow gachas began, which at the time *wasn't* a bad decision because rainbow gachas didn't start on DMM for another half year, and I wanted a rainbow like Sakura while the pool was still small.

Whoa now, careful, you're laying on the sarcasm a little too thick for these guys. It's hard enough for them to fathom the idea that a 5* girl shouldn't be more valuable than a 6* girl.
