This will by my last answer to this event (and MMO games in general that tend to have no ending in sight)

Buy an offline game (I dunno, like an Eroge? You get like 8 new ones on the market from Japan every month for like 40 bucks each give or take, usually enough content to keep you "refreshed" and "satisfied" for at least half a year and I have had me one or two Eroge titles that had a pretty damn good story)

It's like World of Warcraft vs just plain Warcraft. You'll find from an economic perspective that Warcraft is the cheaper option, even when you need to replace it with a new game of its type every now and then.

Anyways, I digress, point is it was pretty clear from the start this game was a money sink. Hell, for anyone without good F2P discipline, most of the games offered by Nutaku scream money sink.

Actually, scratch that, THE WHOLE EFFIN COMPANY IS A MONEY SINK!!! We want to scream and shout about the unfairness of a F2P game being unbelievably ridiculous about how much you have to pay to get anywhere but it doesn't change the reality.

My advice, if you want good stuff and can spend light, pick up a Visual Novel (or an eroge, whichever fits your...preferences)

If you want good stuff and can't spend at all, give up on the notion as soon as you can. Doesn't matter where you are in this world (other than maybe Nepal), pretty much no one happily caters to the poor.

2 days into EG part II and there are only 3 players in the entire game on track to getting that 300 megaboss kill Limited SR (and I'm not one of them...part-time SEG buddies with one but I'm not one of them) If I stay in my half-angry feverish state (I mean literal fever, been down with the flu and fever combined since 2 days ago), I may flip a table...in regrets towards the fact I can't locate Nutaku HQ and set it ablaze.
