Am I missing something? From this event, if the screenshot is correct, can't you only get 17 SS frags for that much (1 per day and then 10 if you recharged that much each day)?

Anyone have a guess as to how much the kimono frags will cost in the Easter shop?

The data is probably referring to people playing/spending on the game. Even if forums are mostly negative feedback there are a lot of people who don't really mind/care that just don't say anything. Negative feedback tends to be more visible because when people are upset they are very vocal about it.

I think most people would prefer the split treasures, but
1. Why would they release it split to start with if they think enough people will spend on the combined one first?
2. They may not have control over this decision

If people actually cared strongly about this they would stop spending/playing the game and things might change. If people just grumble but enough of them stay/keep spending then the people who look at the "numbers" are going to see the non-split treasure as a success.

You don't have the actual data on that though, just what is visible on the forums/YouTube etc. Maybe all the money they make from opening new servers outweighs losing older players (even though that *s). If what they're doing is actually causing them to lose money, I totally believe they'll try to change something.

Specifically about GNW Shino, yeah he's not great and a lot of people are unhappy. But most of them will probably grumble and move on. If they feel like they can get away with doing this, why wouldn't they?

What you're describing is all anecdotal evidence. Without seeing the back end numbers of players and income we have no way of knowing the ACTUAL situation. It might match up with your observations or it might not, but there's no way for us players to know for sure.

Any pictures of the Easter Shop prices?

I'm guessing it's so that people get antsy and use their coins to actually place bets instead of just using this system to convert their useless old materials into stuff they c*e instantly.

2 types of rewards:
1. Reach a certain battle armor rank. This can only be claimed once ever, even when the event comes back.
2. Upgrade to battle armor rank (number) during the event. This lets you claim some threads to help you towards the next rank.

For the first once it doesn't matter when you hit the rank, but you can only claim it once. The second one, yeah you need to finish the upgrade during the event to claim it (and it c*so only be claimed once because once you hit a rank you can't it it again). You can progress on your armor rank outside of the event, but it's probably best to stop around halfway and wait for the event if you care about the rebate rewards.

You also get 14k ingots. It's not like they disappear. Last time, you were PAYING 800 for an Ay frag. This week it's just a recharge bonus and you still can spend those ingots somewhere else.

If you want to compare to the Ay frags, you'd have to compare this event with the recharge wheel that could give them out, which might have been better but was also random. Some people prefer the a guaranteed value to spins.

It looks like they're offering a refund for that

Not sure if this is intended, but I'm getting getting 2 treasure keys for each wanted mission completed (in a group, if that matters). Also, if you do a wanted mission after getting 9 of your daily free keys, the 2 keys you get will bypass the normal daily limit of 10 free keys and let you get 11 keys instead (you stop getting keys after that). It's not a huge deal, but an extra key a day adds up, especially for f2p.
