I have a few issues with the Sign-In reward this month. The first of them being, alot of people were under the impression that they would continue with the theme of GNW ninja being the sign in reward until we got them. I'm not saying it is wrong to stray away from that, but it was that belief that lead alot of people to be excited and look forward to the next month. To break from that impression wasn't the worst... to top it off, they gave us a lack luster ninja instead.
Talking about lack luster ninja.... If they wanted to give an older ninja, why not Shizune? I personally like her, but alot of people consider her useless, or as lack luster as Sannin War Jiraiya. But the biggest reason to ask this question is the fact that Shizune can't be gotten/farmed outside of the Seal Treasure. Some would call her common, but the fact remains that there are people out there with out her, even though they have been playing since launch.
But the last issue I have with him, is my biggest. Why only 80 frags? Most of the players will already have him 3 stared (as that is the level you unlock him at for free for just playing the game), and those that don't have him will shortly. So why not atleast Reward them with that 4th star? Why give us 80 frags that will do nothing bet tempt us to waste atleast 200 stamina and another 10 days of grinding (most likely way more)? I wouldn't have as much heart burn over this months reward if it were not for the fact that I will not get another ninja or star out of it with out using resources I'm currently using to star better ninja or ninja gear.
Someone in the other thread said it best: "The point of the Sign-In rewards is to encourage/excite players into logging on each day". I feel that this months reward doesn't do that. I've Hated missing days before, because I wanted to get every frag of the GNW ninja that was offered each month. Mainly due to the fact it was the only free way to get them at the time. It helped that I found most GNW ninja good enough, that I wanted each star I could get for them. This month doesn't do that. If for some reason I missed a day this month, I wouldn't feel bad at all.... and I find that sad.
