Since Tobin is too busy to explain, you get me. Kharan is either a plant or just plain *.

Let me explain to all you good folks that are wondering what a ninja such as Suit Minato isn't suitable for Fireworks:

1. Fireworks is a once in a month event that serves to give some reason to f2p players to stay in the game and feed the whales. Ninja put in here will never be meta and no player has ever expected it. However, ninja put in here are expected to have a fighting chance and have a value worthy enough for such a long stretch of suffering a game with no innovations, no bug fixes, event reworks and with vast majority of events being spender events. So, unless you have no understanding of the game at all, Suit Minato doesn't apply. He would be much better in Spring Matsuri with ninja closer to his value like Haku recently or Yota before him.

2. If you give Jonin Minato in a "recent" Fireworks event, who is superior to Suit Minato and far superior with his bond skill, should you really put another version of a Firework ninja who is inferior? The only Minato ninja many of us would find acceptable in Fireworks would be Edo Minato, and since he is meta, nobody expects it. What is expected is not to have two same "class" ninja that can't be in the same team together and releasing the one that was never close to any meta at any time.

Sure, it is understandable that some players have been playing for so long and are now into just collecting the few ninja they are missing. But trust me when I say that players that have their end game meta and gargantuan power levels, can afford to think like that and don't care for Fireworks ninja outside that. In comparison to "collectors", there is a vast majority of players who would rely on Fireworks ninja like Shisui or Jonin Minato as they aren't close to having good teams, let alone such teams and ninja that they started thinking of collections.

Please Kharan and company, before you make a claim for how "anything free is good" and how maybe next Fireworks there should be Udon or Moegi there, consider that you are only harming the community, especially players that have only lasted so long with hope of acquiring good ninja that were meta long ago.
