Interesting, i'll say that much.

After seeing the events today i just have to get something off my chest.

Seriously, stop treating players like this. Give us awesome events for putting up with you every single week. I've played this game since Day 1 and i just can't leave this game no matter how badly handled it is, because i love it. This week's Recharge Rebate is a robbery, plain and simple. Why get 6 Itachi frags for 15k ingots when you can get 6 from Shinobi Feast for 4800 ingots? Now i know you might say "But dude, that Ultimate Essence is totally worth it because normally it's worth 20-30k right? WRONG, nothing in a game should cost THAT much.

I'll end this post before it becomes a tl;dr.

Doesn't matter if it's real money or in-game money, still better to just buy the Itachi frags, especially if there's a spending event the same week.
