Ahaha, they're really trying to top how bad every other deal can get.

This wouldn't be nearly as bad if bronzes/silvers could be sold for bloom material or whatever, but yeah, that $40 paywall is something.

Ah well, I already bought the Developer's Gachas, so even if I wanted to, I'm already close to spent for this month.

(besides, pulling 5-6 golds from single pulls in lim1 gacha is more than enough luck already)

I'm semi-new, just started in December. I've been doing every single 6* deal since I started.... yes even the crazy $180 step up... which I think was rigged because every post about it said they got three 6*... like me. Anyway, even I'm not touching this deal. I personally only care 6* girls and to pay $75 bucks for a random 6* is not happening... yes you get the skill blooms and dresses, but I don't value those very highly. Anyway, I have 9 rainbows and only a handful left on my wish list for the current 6* girls. So my odds are very low to get what I want with this deal. I feel this deal is only attractive to new whales or the very crazy... like I was about one month ago lol... anyway to keep these deals going they need new players that are crazy enough to go for them... so personally I hope no one buys this and they start offering better deals or lower the dang price. Hoping they have a better valentines deal right around the corner and this is just some lame attempt to boost profit.

i don't care about steps 1 to 4 so i have to pay 7500NG for a rainbow plus skill- and dressbloom... nope, not this time.

was hoping for a choose any 6 star for 5k valentines deal today so i could get cherry, here's hoping they might still do it on Tuesday's maintenance

In simple words:

FUCK
THE
PAYWALL

Well, I REALLY wanted a Dress Bloom for Anemone and a Skill Bloom for Alpinia, so I went with it, and got an Oxalis dupe, a Dahlia dupe, Dendrobium (new) and a Skill Bloom for Justica along the way. 1 more Dress Bloom to go for Anemone, and I can move the Lucky Jewelry set to her so she'll be as overpowered as Fritillaria.

well thx a lot @Drip... now i'm thinking again about doing it D:

Grats man. To be honest I'm tempted, I have 1/3 chance for dupe which will piss me off a 1/3 chance to get a 6* I want and 1/3 chance for a girl I'm eh about. I'll resist though because let's be honest, you can get two guaranteed picked 6* for this price if your patient. Plus I want to stick it to natuku for pricing these things too high.

^ This. I'm out on this one.

...Plus I already have 17 rainbows, dupe chance is pretty damn high.

Fuck me, I guess I'm still crazy. Sorry guys I gave in, thus supporting this shit. I got a Queen of the Night dupe and a Kerria dupe, so serves me right I guess. Swimming in salt right now.

- I wouldn't feel so bad if the price had been maybe $50.
