I though I'd slipped into a coma and awakened on 01/04/18 but no this was a serious deal - one for the mega whales only

What a crappy daily deal.
How would even the whalest of whales justify this one.

It's not a great deal by current standards, but just a few months ago when you'd expect to pay 2000 NG for a 5* ticket, 1500 for the bloom set wasn't terrible. The devs have been trying to steer the pricing back to pre-Daily Deal numbers recently but picked a bad time to do it in my opinion; the holidays are not the time for trying to increase prices when competing for customer cash.

That said, if my Poppy weren't maxed, I'd probably pick this one up; can't let the waifu stay outdone by the 5/4 event girls.

Yeah, joining about a month before the Black Friday deals has likely thrown off my perspective. It's going to be hard to compare every upcoming deal to those.

I'm also not really interested in the blooms because I'm not a min/max type. I guess I'm a casual whale? Like, I'd gladly spend money on the tickets to get to pick and choose the girls on my teams. But spending real cash on 2% bonuses or extra equip slots seems like a waste to me. Maybe if the Ultimate events maps were a huge challenge I'd see the value, but I'm smoking through them with a 2-month old team. I'd also be more invested in blooms if there was a multiplayer competitive mode where you fought against other players, but I don't really mind having my team underperform a bit in battles against the AI.

A fair point, but a couple of things to consider:

1) We should be getting harder content in the (hopefully near) future that will definitely benefit from units who are more than 1/1. In the meantime...

2) whaleship power benefits from equipment that the girls are wearing. I realize that you may not be in a position to do whaleship yet, but it's something to keep in mind.

We're still waiting on harder content that should've been added about sixteen months ago.

with a 50k+ total power I'd be suprised if much can be released I'm not ahead of the curve for unless it's designed to be almost impossible
