I like that you guys are posting what is being sold each day for those specials that change daily. Before it felt like some of the days were bait sales before selling something better the next day. Now we can actually plan ahead and see what to save for (if anything).

I think that's right if you wanted it immediately. It's a little pricey, but it doesn't actually COST that much, you just need to spend the ingots to get the points (so you're also getting whatever you spent your ingots on). I think the idea is that you also get some points from clearing plot/elite instances so you can collect a few frags for free during the event as well and can piece it together over a few months. But they know some people don't want to wait a few months and will pay the $$$ to have it now...hence the crazy price.

People who just want the tortoise might want to wait until there's an event where you can buy the frags more directly.

Nagato was only 45 points when he was in Time-Limited Ninja Recruitment 2 weeks ago.

That's a completely different system than the mission boxes so the point costs can't be compared.

The last time he was in the mission boxes (about a month ago/first time he was offered) he was actually 85 points per frag, so they actually made him cheaper this time.

You're not only getting Mei for that 12k though. You're also getting roughly 12k worth of stuff along with Mei. If you don't care about the other stuff you're getting or think it's not worth the price, then this is a bad event to try to get Mei.

Personally, I agree the other stuff you get doesn't seem worth it and the cost of the Mei frags seems too high, but it's a misrepresentation to just say Mei costs over $200.
