Feeling like an idiot for spending money on this game, and I know I'm not alone, so that shows something needs to change. I'm also a relatively new player but I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to keep playing because it seems like at least for event girls you need to pour a bunch of money into the game to have even a decent chance of getting them.

I was fighting Dark Lord whenever I had energy trying to get Taria when that event was happening (it never fully recharged so I was using it as much as possible), then on the final day I ended up using my saved up Kobans to get her and finally after about 400 kobans I got her. Now today I finally decided to buy some Kobans. 900 later on Event Pachinko and I got none of them. Even though it cost me less than $5 considering I got nothing out of it, that's a waste to me, and who knows how much more I would have to spend before I did.

I get the need to make money from the game, and I have no problem with that, but in order to encourage people to spend money they need to at least make it worthwhile. If they increased the drop rate just a bit I think they would actually make more from the game because people would realize they are getting value from the money spent.
