I'm fairly certain everyone realizes that. My question to you is, would you really drop 200$ in one go on ANY of their games with the intent to use it all at some point? I admit that I spend money on this game, but it's only in the form of the daily e-gachas and card reveals to go with them. Beyond that, I don't buy any kind of recovery items etc, if you do even remotely well in the events, you can create a fair stockpile of them yourself. Regardless of being technical for the sake of it and saying the cards actually cost "2000 medals," the fact remains that you cannot obtain the cards without first paying 200$ or 50$.

It's the exact same type of crap most businesses sell people with, just on a huge scale. "Buy this thing and get this thing *free*." It isn't free, you had to pay money on something else to attempt to justify calling it such.

That's why i guess Nutaku still giving pero burguers despite EG event ended, to prevent stacking of items. I don't see this bad ("game balance") the bad thing is the gap made against low/mid cashers. As i said before, daily deals was cut since some time ago.

In the past, you can find 12 mid pudding at $3 (as daily deal, once per day), made for this kind of events. Now this was cut and packs costs more, keeping only the packs for whales.

Other good idea was the half pack (1 half pudding + 1 half peronamin), made for perogambit and was pretty cheap (with the same limit, once per day).

Nutaku can clean a bit the stacking disease with those measures, but if they forget again to fill the gap made, more casuals will drop the game.
