i feel a need to explain about the free clothes in the chinese version?

their clothing system is different. you get the outfit with base stats of +5/10. these base outfits are relatively cheap to get compared to the clothes in the english servers, because they give less stats.

also, the chinese clothing system requires players to buy cloths to level up the outfits, much like using advanced cloth to level up battle armour. there's still the additional cost of those materials that are not accounted in the "free" time-skip outfits in the chinese servers.

therefore, free clothing in en servers are not feasible, because they are not an exact copy of the clothing in cn. they provide significantly higher base stats, and it's understandable that we have to pay for this clothing as well.

in conclusion, please shut up about the free clothing.

ps: i decline to comment on the other events because i dont know enough about them. but i will interject on this clothing issue because people are blindly comparing cn servers to en without considering the differences between the 2 servers.
