looks like this question is directly translated from the chinese version XD

the correct answer is genin btw.

we don't have QQ members, diamond members here either, so i don't really think this supposed jonin medal discount is a guaranteed thing in future english versions.

although it's true that the other 3 options do have discounted prices in the chinese servers in the in-game shop.

Edit: i'm so completely incoherent when im in a rush jfc. ok i'm going to try to rephrase all of this to make it more structured lel

1. "going further against the 'we aren't like other regions' thing": but we aren't like other regions in the first place. all the regional versions of this game are different. huoying qq is different from the taiwanese gm99 version which is different from the brazilian version and that's different from the germany version, not to mention the french, italian, polish etc.

All these different versions are handled by different teams of people all over the world, possibly even different companies. These teams of people do have the allowance to change some systems where they want to, so ultimately, we end up with only similar games, similar power systems, similar gameplay.

A better way to approach these different versions (particularly the chinese and german versions), is to take them simply as guidelines for what we might expect in the future. ninja designs, power systems. Comparing and scrutinizing every detail and just futile

2. "that's just cruel": well, it's completely ridiculous that players complain about oasis being unfair, while holding them to double standards regarding the game.

You say: oh we want jonin medal discounts, free ninja, free clothes, cheaper power items just like they have in china

Then you say: oh we don't want oasis to change the cave key rebate, don't want them to change the magatama system like that have in china

And then, you complain that the global version just isn't the same as the chinese version.

You say: oh germany has angel konan and new clothes, and new treasures

Then you say: please oasis don't give us % tactics like they have in germany

Then you complain about the game being different

Do you see where i'm coming from?

Players are only comparing and complaining about the things they want from the other versions, and hiding behind the excuse of "wow shouldn't our version be the same as theirs?" If you really wanted our version to be exactly the same, I'd hear more complaints about our magatama system only needing 3 mags per level for the next, instead of 4. I'd hear more complaints about how our version of Konoha's Gift Shop doesnt sell enough skillbooks. More complaints about how our clothing system gives +100 to +300 stats, instead of just +5.

3. "opposed to releasing free stuff": you guys really want free stuff huh. when they give you free ninja, you say, why is this ninja so useless. when they make you redeem the ninja you say, china got this ninja for free. when they give you free stuff, you say, wow but it's all worthless, and when they let you redeem things, you say they aren't cheap enough. so like,,,what do you want?

4. the jonin medal discount: i genuinely do not know if there will be jonin medal discounts in our version. there might have been talk of it happening sure. there's always a lot of talk. sometimes these are rumours spread by misinformed people, sometimes they're actually accurate. I said i woudn't bank on it being a guaranteed thing because i don't know where all this 'talk' came from. You can continue to speculate, or you can ask the mods. (disclaimer, they also might not know)

1. guren is free...you don't have to pay a single coupons or ingot to redeem her.

2. the sannin pack might come later, as might all the other things. you might have the distinct impression, but everything is still subject to change.

3. my point about complaining had nothing to do with oasis' explanation to the player base. i was talking about the incessant comparisons to other versions for only some things with a complete disregard for other features, then styling it as a "why aren't we exactly like the other versions" argument

4. your original point wasnt "they don't include the player base and offer no explanation". your original point was "why dont we have the jonin medal discount when china has it"

5. we aren't paying more for madara 5kage.

like, yes, there are a lot of things that can be improved on. i agree that oasis could be more open about their decisions and potential changes to the game, i'm equally concerned about the rushed content. I just don't think scrutinizing versions is a good way to open that topic.
