Ya this game is pretty generous when it comes to giving out premiums(I'm guessing they wanted even free players to get some premium costumes). You can even get more currency if you create another character, things like premium currency is shared.
Just a heads up to those following this topic, you can used the crystals from daily's to rank up your gear instead of fusing it to a duplicate. When you fuse to a dupe you run the risk of your gear switching element aliment. But crystal rank up preserves the elemental attribute.
