... Was this site always so... buggy? Taking forever to make a damn post.

Anyway.

Did I say that everyone should've farmed 350 scrolls instead? No. I chose to farm that much because I decided that I needed Sanosukes and Laurens anyway. But Len isn't a necessary unit to max, or even get more than the bare minimum.

I simply chose to keep grinding the event because I decided that I should get more Sanosukes/Laurens while the opportunity was there. I could've easily chosen to do anything else instead. Anyone else could have.

There's your goddamn break right there.

If i don't have time to cc her and raise her aff , it's likely i'm still going to go with a spica i have lvled. By not giving players time to nejoy their spoils , you do 3 things : first you burn them out >>> like it happened in PPS <<< because continous events are not healthy. People need breaks. Second , you get less money out of them in the long term (in short term , they might buy more SCs , but if you keep doing this over and over , they will eventually give up. Finding a good balance between milking whales , and let them build up a bit their anticipation , will get you more money in the logn run). And 3rd : you cut out new players from the game entirely. The whole point of games like this is collecting. A lot of players would give up after they lost 3 events in a row because they were way too weak to participate. Droping behind the curve in games like this means the entry lvl for newnies becomes higher and higher , considering events get stronger and stronger , and unless they are ridiculously lucky in premium summons , they will need the event units. I mean , you can't expected a new player that never even experienced the full aigis experience to start spending money like crazy on premium summons. You let him grow a bit , participate in a event or 2 , and if he likes it , he is likely to start spending. When you treat newbies that bad , its obvious they won't start spending.


Is it fair ? Not sure why it wouldn't be. It's not like a wbreak would take anything away from a veteran player....unless all you want are bragging rights (which again , are rather pointless since there is literally no interaction between player accounts) for having a unit the other person doesn't has because he was a newbie when said event hit. Hell , with revival events , even that is a moot point , since even newer people will be able to get those. I literally see no advantage of having back to back events , other hten the entertainment of a very few number of people. On the other side , i can see a number of advantages of having breaks , and most of those include a bigger number of people then the first group
Oh man. You realize how silly your post sounds? How easy it is to turn your statement around?

Your post amounts to, "What's the point of getting premium/event units that you never have time to level?"

Here's a better question. How about, "What's the point of getting premium/event units if you have nothing to use them on?"

Because that's EXACTLY what happened prior to these back-to-back events. Some people are using Karma/Anya/Echidna/etc. for the very first time because there was nothing to use them on prior (protip, some people cleared Immortal Beast well before having these events).

But to answer your question, yes, actually. People will keep spending on the premium as each spotlight changes, as long as they have the desire to actually spend time developing them.

You mentioned earlier that you thought people would get tired of grinding event maps over and over, and that you'd rather farm dailies instead. Except no, people got tired of farming story/dailies AGES ago when the break periods got really bad. Likewise, people stopped spending on the shrine because there was no point if they were just going to farm Dragon Hunting and dailies they could've beaten with maxed out silvers and event units instead.

You can bitch all you want about not having enough time to level your team, but the downtime during events is there already. The downtime that comes from no events? That's harder to fill than you think. A lot of people jumped ship to DMM because there was actually shit to do whether or not they had time for it.

Like it or not, we're in a better place now than we were back then.

Side note, the PPS comparisons are laughable given how you don't spend anywhere near as much time or resources on one girl there than you do here.
