I've seen people with a 5 star edo hashirama in China

I wasn't saying it was cheaper. I was saying that people are just ready to put a lot of money in the game so 3000$ for a ninja and materials is not something people should be so surprised about. I've seen a YouTuber (not sure if he wants to be on this post so I won't say his name) with 600k ingot in one of his video. Honestly, I stopped having high hopes for events since the sailor sakura/suit sasuke pack and sakura event lies and "bugs" (happened 2 months ago I think).
