You know whats the best part is? Im almost sure there's not a single person in this thread that could be considered "a whale" which complained. This event is dedicated only, ONLY towards people who max recharge anyway every week and there are some (not many) but there are those. And for them this event is good, since they would recharge 4x30k anyway, perhaps more if recharge event was higher. This way they get all the benefits of madara bankdraining experience on top of their usual rewards throughout the month.

I would understand such disappointment and outroar if madara showed up as a cp redeemable priced at 1000 per frag which would be ridiculously insane. But he's not (yet). There will be time for that. This event isnt meant to be used by ftps or low spenders who literally never cap regular recharge rebates.

I know, I'm a collector, I'm one of those people that want madara too. Who doesn't? But majority of newly released ninjas is in recharge/spending event before they are obtainable in a reasonable manner. For instance edo minato still wasn't obtainable in a way that our average Joe could buy him without regrets. This is what paying is for, its early access to things that you can get in another way over time (some with either luck factor or over a really long time). Some features take such tremendous ammounts of resources that you pretty much can't get them during your lifetime without speeding up the process by paying. At least that was the case with everything so far.

I get where you are going with this business model, but its not even remotely my field of expertise so I cant really comment it. But personally perspective of spending 3k here during a month is ridiculous. And while it's like that to me, there are people that actually already do it. But honestly it has no effect on me because the best money involved events never were targetted toward me. I couldn't care less about this recharge rebate and rewards it offers, as long as it's not a real exclusive that will never be obtainable in a reasonable way. I'm a patient person.

@Pabu Panda

It's not like that. Everybody's constructive opinion should matter. That doesnt mean that it should matter equally. Rant from a farmer that latest model of submarine is bad because od price/functionality doesnt contribute much. On the other hand an opinion from a veteran pilot of such devices could potentially be invalueable.

@GWhillikers

Problems could start when things at the top start shaking, aka top bracket players getting ahead or brackets merging. It has no effect on majority of players, since we are meatbags for them(you?), but for them... they will get to feel like us, those meatbags. And every spender minor, major was or will be at a point of second thoughts and will decide at some point "thats enough". Everybody who spent anything was at that point- you either keep going to create (or stay) in top bracket or you slowly fall down the ladder. It's kinda a paradox. You want to get ahead of the competition, but you still need to have people to compete with. And one contradicts the other. Or you'll start to stagnate, auto everything since manual aspect of the game no longer matters.
