In all seriousness though, I never expected a compensation. This is a free to play game. If you expect anything here you're getting a little spoiled. The company isn't here to give us everything it's trying to sell us for free - and make no mistake, FKG wants to sell you something. If they didn't regularly make sales, they wouldn't be able to stay afloat. The game would hit the chopping block like Kampani Girls. Event girls are to entice you in, but Gacha girls having the best stats means you'll want to partake in the paid rolls.

That drip feed of FGs the game feeds you isn't a reward for your loyalty so you can play as a F2Player, it's to get you to know the feeling of rolling, be it the high of a rainbow pot or the salt of an 11 bronze pull. Those extreme feelings are the pressuring factor to get you to go and participate in sales/buy FGs, to re-experience those feelings again. EVERY SINGLE FUNCTION OF A F2P GAME IS A SKINNER BOX DESIGNED TO TEST YOUR MENTAL ENDURANCE AND BREAK YOU INTO BUYING A PRODUCT, and you should always keep that in mind and accept that fact if you're signing up for that type of experience. Games like this have to be designed to fight the player at every step if they want to make any type of profit. FKG is, however, relatively easy on the player mentally. Other than the Peer-Pressure factor (Giving new players high leveled helpers with several rainbows on their team) or the occasional gacha sale, the game doesn't ever really bother you about buying it's wares.

As for the gachas, one can't really argue they're overpriced. When you get to the point of exchanging your money for a digital item rather than material goods, the only person who can determine the actual value of the product they've purchased is the buyer. If you feel like a gacha is overpriced pre-purchase, don't buy it. If you feel like it was a bad buy post-purchase, Nameless didn't hold a gun to your head. You decided the purchase was worth it and thus have no one to blame if later on you regret it. We all regret something (God damnit Jenny you ruined my life.)
Im pretty sure some people compare Nutaku with DMM. Spend some time on the DMM version and you will see why they expect a better compensation and are disappointed with how Nutaku manages the game (...well, all games).
Also, would it have been bad for the company to give out 5FG instead of 3? Nope, it wouldn't because this is RNG with a reeeally low chance of getting something good, it doesnt change anything for them, so they only managed to get the players angry.
