After playing the German client for awhile, I'm really beginning to see an unfair trend US-side. Things are even unfair for those who pay - I legitimately can't find a single thing worthwhile to pay for at the moment, and can't justify shelling out $500 for Black Hidan frags who I currently have but wanted to 4 star. I would still be short 20 fragments after paying a lot more than I did the last time.
3-day events like that are a slap in the face to F2P players. F2P players make up the bulk of your player-base, without them servers start to die. When servers start to die, P2W players decide to spend their money more wisely and/or elsewhere (e.g. not your game). It's much, much easier to be F2P in the German client whereas in the US version they're tossed aside and made to feel worthless, especially when the majority of the events that are released each week completely disclude them from being able to participate because statistically it's impossible for them to attain anything that has any worth.
Take care of your F2P players and they'll be more likely to spend money on the game. The servers will be healthier, which will create a healthier economy overall because people won't be worried about spending due to fear that their server is just going to die anyway - which is where I'm at right now.
Also, notice that the German plates event lasts 4 days longer!
