hopefully it's just some bad april fool prank.

Removing the best event of the game for f2p to put some *ty p2w events instead is just bs.

what events are good for f2p ?

-Ninja recruitement ? It's a *ty investement but maybe if the redeem shop is not too expensive
-puzzles ? it's *
- gift pack special offer ? * and p2w
-Armor rebate ? useless without lucky board
-daily spending ? p2w
-seal scrolls rebate ? can be good if you have a lot of seals stacked but definitely not intended for f2p.
-Great plates ? p2w and hidan cost even more th*ual.

The only good things is the new permanent event with the bond system.

Removing the lucky board is just a middle finger in the face of the f2p players but not only. This event is the best event in the game for everyone. P2w, F2p and p2p.

To get back to the subject ofc if you don't need medium refines or medium threads anymore the lucky board is not really the best event for you but then it also depends on the ninjas that are in the redeem shop.

Still it is one of the best event in the game in terms of returns over investment for every category of players.
