about the clothing, i wanted to offer a bit of criticism about it. and im taking into consideration that you arent in charge of the events and cant really do much about how or what they do. but i would like it if you can pass this message along to whoever is in charge of them.

im by no means a free to play player, i recharge when i see fit and save when i dont. now while i wouldnt have exactly minded the clothing being in the platinum recharge, but there wasnt anything really worth spending on (in my opinion) this week besides the frog, to justify the spending rebate. i've spent enough on the Lucky * to get the draw 500 prize without getting what I was actually there for (80 masked man frags at the time). sakura's foodsacks is just a personal dislike but some players like it, some dont. (With the raise in price I imagine most dont right now) and the only other thing you can really spend on right now is the capsule thingy, and thats too much of a risk in my opinion. With this event you could end up paying 570 coupons for 300k coins. (10+20+30+40+50+60+70+80+90+100 Coupons =550 for a probability of 50% with the additional 20 coupons spent on a capsule.)

I think the lineup for the event could have been a lot more carefully considered, events with point redemption cater to both f2p and p2w players. (Things like Lucky Board/Lucky Wheel) I can't see that spending rebate getting much. Outside of Konoha's outlets, but there is only but so much people are going to want from that.

I'd like to ask you also to consider maybe having a thread at least once a week to maybe talk with the player base and see what it is they want to see in the upcoming events/what ninjas etc, and push the information forward. (Excluding the refine/charm rebates etc etc.) i get this is the purpose of the feedback survey, but a lot of us feel that even with this, the concerns we have still aren't being heard. If you guys could do that, people like myself who have the money to spend on events but don't for reasons like this, would feel more inclined to recharge for events, and f2p players would have more incentive to play the game because the events are fair. Some might even be willing to pay a few dollars here and there if its something they really want.

My last gripe, unrelated to the above statement, is there a way that you guys can make it possible we pick if we want to spend coupons or ingots? I'd like to be able to spend my ingots for certain events without having to burn through all my coupons to use them.
