Nonsensical change. I'm never going to spin a $5 gachapon, but I'll buy outfits from other players. Just ensuring I don't spend money.

I spent $100 on their random draws alone and didn't get a single costume piece. The *least* I should be able to do is at least sell off a costume if after I finally get one it's something I don't like. But I see what they're worried about. They're worried people will be able to buy a costume from someone else and only spend $20 on it rather than hundreds randomly rolling trying to get something.

These guys are some of the worst greediest people I've seen that care the least about the community and players. You know I would have kept blowing hundreds monthly trying to get costumes if I could sell the ones I didn't want to other people, and I would have kept buying more Onigiri premium Coins in order to buy costumes from other people - but now that you've made this change I'm done spending any money on these things.

I'm not quitting or anything yet, but I am not spending any more money on this stuff. There's a possibility I'll spend more if they release Costumes, new equipment, Partners or these type of useful things that are direct purchase rather than random draws. But this little change where they think they're going to force people to have to spend more to get costumes is going to have the opposite effect for some of us because people like me who already spent over $100 on the game are now no longer going to spend any trying to get costumes. Good job guys. Way to read the community.



You only spent $100? Now imagine if a few other people only spent $100 and a few more and a few more. There will be people spending money regardless of what route they take its a well known fact. The people who take to the forum to make their voice heard are not the majority they believe they are. People comming from cosmic break and asian mmos in general like Aeria ... etc .... These types of gambles are common and there are players more devoted than us who will spend $1000's eventually this game will take the cb route and release past gachomoney prizes for a set ammount of OC but at the same time bust out the Spend $100 for some super ultimate "currently" rare costumes. The people.... they will pay... they always do. So good sir take your $100 and voice your opinion you have every right to. Chances are as long as there are those people who will spend nothing will change and you might as well be yelling sand in a desert. :v Kaw?

Not that this part makes a difference and this isn't that important, it's just since you said "Good Sir" I'd like to make the correction - I am in fact a female player not a Sir :D

I wasn't trying to make as if $100 was a lot on a gamble, I'm used to having to spend $350-$500 to just get a *single* max card on some Mobile games (used to, but I am now revolting against these systems as it gets old and when we give in and spend that much it just makes them keep on doing it again and again in games). I just thought it was a lot of rolls to make and not get a single costume piece and was figuring it would be the same as what I was used to in other games that have horrible roll systems. I didn't realize that you'd get the entire suit of clothes though if you won one of the top suits, I thought we'd just end up getting random pieces. So the price is a little better knowing that we actually get the whole suit once we get it.

I've played a few games now that have lots and lots of costumes so they're more generous when you roll to get something and almost always get a costume piece. I guess playing those has spoiled me and I refuse to go back to paying $350-$500 for a single good item. I'm playing another mobile game that you're stuck using Male avatars to start unless you draw a certain amount of the top cards which ends up being around $2,000 or so just to be able to play my own gender. I decided to just stick to playing the male avatar there. I quit playing Aeria games now that they moved more towards this gamble system completely and stopped outright selling stuff in their newest games and I very much believe that people are going to burn out in time and that type of pricing is going to kill a lot of the F2P market.

But they did seem to listen to us a little bit here as I got a refund with everybody else who rolled for items early on, 10 OC back per roll. I used it all rolling again, and didn't get any costumes again.

Being a glutton for punishment, that and suddenly seeing costumes all over, I felt the need to spend a little more money, especially since the price went down for the roll of 5 tickets at once. I also wanted to expand my storage a little more so I could be lazy in how often I went through my junk.

But anyway, this time when I rolled for 5 tickets, I got two different types of underwear and a costume, so three out of my 5 items were costume pieces.

I got a cat costume that I so desperately wanted. Being that I got three out of five pieces as costumes this time, I decided to spend more money again. I bought another 5 rolls and got 2 more costume pieces, a full fox costume and luckily the underwear type that fits with my cat costume. By the time all this was over and I got my 3rd storage expansion, I only had 40 OC left. I decided to roll that randomly for fun and I ended up getting another full costume, one of the bird ones this time.

I don't know if I just get incredibly unlucky the first few days I rolled, or I got incredibly lucky this last time, or they changed something in the game so that you draw more costumes now (almost *too* often now actually if it does it like this every time) or there is some other hidden underlying game code that gives you better chances as you spend more money or what is going on. But I'm pretty happy now and don't mind spending money on the game again now that I got all this costume stuff I was trying to get.
