Splitting the difference between you two (somehow I’m sure instead of settling the argument I’ll just tick you both off) :

I’m personally convinced that Nutaku’s FKG staff value individual 6* Knights in the 5000 Nutaku gold / $50 USD price range. If you asked them how much they’re worth (instead of asking how much the average customer pays), the answer is $50.

However, in practice no one pays $50 USD for a 6* Knight, because Daily and Weekly gacha deals generally offer the Knights at “discounted” rates to ensure they sell. It seems typical to offer the Knights at least 50% off in deals, and to buffer the price by adding other incentives like dressblooms and FGs.

Devil’s Claw, in my opinion, was the case of a double whammy of an error on Nutaku’s part where the staff erroneously identified her as a 6* and thought they could get away without offering the standard 6* discounts because she was a brand new serial code offer. So, standard 6* price, without the standard 6* discount. Except she was just a 5* all along.

Whether Nutaku’s FKG staff’s errors benefits the consumer (see the recent 5* Exchange tickets instead of gacha tickets in the summer daily deals) or harms the consumer (Devil’s Claw), the staff has earned a reputation of stubbornly refusing to ‘correct the record’ and address that an error was made. So, consumers were just hurt by an awful Devil’s Claw deal without any recourse.

But, if you’re paying $50 or more for a 6* Knight these days, you’re doing something wrong, no matter how highly FKG admins may price their characters internally.
