Adding more things to the jonin medal would add more to the gap between p2p and f2p. I already think the convenience it provides is worth the value (around 38 dollars divided by 180 days is less than 22 cents a day). Considering the coupons alone are worth it, everything else is just a bonus.

I like the idea of adding Seal/Summoing Scrolls to the Black Market, although I don't agree that Bond Scrolls are useless. Saving me stamina on awakening materials so I can sweep more Elite Instances is fine with me. It'd be awesome to see a Seal/Summoning Scroll on the market for Coins; Mood Scrolls too since that's the only thing not obtainable without coupons/ingots.

Refinements everyone can get with Group and Ranked Coins, but adding a recharge event for them and the gap between f2p and p2p will only increase.

The best thing IMO is create more events like the Lucky Bags, where everyone benefits.

I'm currently level 67 on S6 (90% to 68, saving main mission for EXP when cap increases) and I know I'll need a ton of awakening materials for the all the ninjas I'm going to get in the future (I have 100 fragments of Tobi, 80 of Kakuzu and Hidan. Drawing from seal treasure to get 4* instantly.) The fact that bond scrolls allow me to use my stamina on getting my Kakashi or Neji to 5* or upgrading all my gear to Kage (and Sage in the future), is pretty valuable to me.

Like I said previously, the value is already there. You're asking for MORE value and calling the medal useless when the coupons it gives + convenience is already valuable enough to buy it. There are far more subscription based games that give less for your money. Also, making the Jonin medal better means, there will be a bigger gap between f2p and p2p.

As for refinements, I personally believe in the system of you either get it over time, or pay a RIDICULOUS amount for it. I don't want to see all p2p players with level 6 refinement, while f2p suffer at level 3-4. A few p2w players is unavoidable, but increasing the availabilty just increases the gap.

Participating in GNW gives 5K coins per week, so thats 10 medium refines if you really wanted to refine. This trade-off between getting ninjas and upgrading is how it should be IMO, and in time, you'll get everything. (Edit: Sorry forgot the coins were from rounds participated and lower groups won't get the same amount, but 2K per week + daily group instances is still enough to refine over time.)

I'm just giving a dissenting opinion, as I see a lot of people are frustrated over medal users and events. I've played a game where the company had that mindset, give the PAYING players everything and forget the f2p players. I'm sure they made a lot of money in that mmorpg, but f2p players left. The moderators here actually listen to our feedback, so I believe that this is a game where f2p players can stay (otherwise, the only people you can fight are people with Tendo/1st Hokage/Sage Naruto).

I believe in supporting the game, that's why I have a Jonin medal (and have spent quite a bit here and there for the events). Instead of asking for a recharge event, why wouldn't you ask for bundles? This way f2p players can benefit from getting items at a discounted price for their coupons. Paying players that want to support the game, get more value out of their ingots.

I'm not perfect and neither are my ideas, but that's why it's great that we have a community here that can voice our opinions and moderators that actually listen to them. This post was last edited by Lazyboi at 2016-8-24 15:02
