I dont know real reasons, but from week to week I'm getting more and more sure, that this game will be dead if next 12 months. Oasis see it clearly, and just want to get all money they can as soon as possible. Too bad, it was a great, GREAT game.. But they killing it fast.. If u bout to start donate money in it think once again, u can screw up too hard with it.

Then quit :)

Madara is, technically, free, since you get to keep the ingots.

As far as I've been playing, the only ninjas costing 500 cps or less are Moegi tier ninja. Those are not even "not expensive", they fall in the category of "very cheap". To me none expensive ninjas are those that f2p can afford to buy after saving a month. Now, whether those ninja are worth the cps or not is another matter. My point was, Sakura is affordable to f2p even if she is not wroth to spend on as a ninja (neither cps nor event points). If somebody really want her they could have saved for 2-3 weeks because she was expected to arrive around Christmas anyway.

By the way, we earn more coupons now than 4.0 because of 2x convoy which we did not have before.

With all these ninjas coming out because of Christmas i hope this means that we're finally getting some skillbooked/breaked ninjas.

I want a reason to use old characters and not rely on boring meta's so much. I mean, i'm not the only one thinking like this right?

At the end of the day, every monday, they sit down and talk among themselves, "what's the best way to make money in short amount of time" that's basically their topic every monday, so they brainstorm a couple ideas on the table, to see if they can make cash, we all know they dont care if you dont spend at least 100 euros per week(5k ingots).

Im curious to know what kinda business deal they're thinking, cuz long term this game is not gonna survive, not without the help of stockholders from tencent(if they even care oasis is sinking down the boat), which again depends what kinda deal / contract they have with tencent in regards to this game, for this game to die (in sense of word like wildstar did) it would have to majorly have a mass of people not spending in like a month or so. From this point i can assume this game can survive even if there's only a handful of players recharging every week, just for the kicks.

Cuz if you're one of those people who recharges, then comes to forum or discord complaining about events, then dont recharge, spend your money elsewhere, nothing is going to change, they going to cater whoever puts 500 bucks upfront in cash simple as that, do it like me, i used to spend yes, i stopped cuz they dont listen, they dont care, so for me the best way to fight their greed is not throwing money at them, if you spend and dont care, dont complain, then idk what to tell you then, from that point it's ur money, you do whatever it's best, eventually people on ur server will quit.
