I would disagree. I think at least some cards should be hard/impossible to get as free players. Other games make it too easy to get by as a free player with little to no disadvantage. Maybe a lot of people like that, but I'd prefer the game gives more reason for myself and others to support it. I just wish they would do it in ways that are not completely RNG. If there is anyone on this planet that simply does NOT belong in a casino, that would be me.

Just give the game some time, and even free players will start getting high SED levels, just that it will be at a much slower pace. As cards get added over time, these boss events keep getting easier as our total SED keeps rising. Eventually it will be at a point where even without slayer cards, 8.7 mil bosses will be a breeze. Even so, from what I can gather, there is always some kind of slayer card(s) available to free players.

I guess you're kind of right about having a carrot for paying players by giving a few exclusives. I'd prefer it if their prices weren't so steep, though. Would be more inclined to spend some if the prices got a bit lower. Not saying they should lower them by loads, but as an example i paid 50$ recently to get 70 SCs in aigis, and that's 14 spins at the wheel of fortune so to say.
Can agree with adding ways that are not fully RNG, that'd probably make it easier, for me at least, to justify the price.

That said, i will probably cave in near the end of the event and get a few event tickets. Trying to save up reveal cards for that moment.

That's pretty much how I feel, even with the Gacha box system you're most likely looking up to 3 (most of the time) Event Gachas required plus card reveals to ensure you get the SR when you step it up, and it might be an SR you already have. I would mostly like Nutaku to leave only the new event girls in the box. I think there was 8 new SR girls and 17 in the box...at least lower that disparity please.

P.S. Tenhou we just took down a Lv 333 9.03M HP Kasumi, they're getting worse!

Tell me about it :P
That Silvi in my friendlist is getting 11-12m ones 0.o
Hope they'll make that damn change soon, i want to be able to beat standard bosses.

Well, it's understandable the Nutaku must provide special features/advantages to players willing to invest some money on the game, it helps the business, after all.
Yesterday I took some time to read the rank rewards, and so far the prize cards are actually available in normal gachas and chance rolls (many of us already got Akie Ibara and Runa Kamiwano during the event), so from that perspective, Nutaku is being quite fair with everyone.

I think that the main problem today is the massive HP guards issue, because it's getting some of us almost totally stuck, waiting for our friends to spawn a weaker guard. I'm OK with paying players to progress way faster than free players, the only thing I think it's annoying is keeping us stuck like this with those guards.

But in general the game is giving balanced chances. Personally I'm sad for not being able to get Satona Okada, but comparing the whole event, it's really fine.

I've been having the same problem with the strong Kasumi's, though I do think that Naraku is being fair for the most part. Even though I get the really strong ones, I still get the weaker ones as well. Sorta random unfortunately. I've tried using elixirs to get rid of them and try my luck at a new one, but the strong ones just keep appearing. Tried three times in a row and kept getting the 8 million one so I've decided to stop wasting money. I just find it a bit annoying that my rank keeps going up slowly. *Sighs*
