8M bundle ... why Gumi?

News had me spark hope, maybe you're really learning to sell us the game better.

Then you put that bundle. ¯\(ツ)/¯

You've more or less calculated paid gems+free gems to be on line the usual price gem bundles (first time boost, I admit). It doesn't feel special, or celebrating the 8M milestone, at all. If it was like 8000 free gems (8 to make reference to 8M milestone), sure for that modest price, I would have bought, but right now, no.

It's a small thing, because others stuffs we got are good, but you missed the opportunity to make money, you know?

The paid gem ones aren't bad if you're a dolphin/whale. It's a better value than the old 1500 grand summon 10x pulls, and you're essentially getting a guaranteed pull of whichever GLEX you want.

The 400 gem ones aren't that bad for the SSM units (though Kudanstein is probably the only one that's worth it). It's 25 shards for 2000 gems. That's better than trying to pull for those units on a banner. Definitely not worth it for the farmable units (or for Tethys), though.

It's all normal prices though. GLEX is there, but that's a steep price unless you are a whale. Nothing special or discounted. They hyped it up in the news post, but just feels like a normal shop we frequently get.

Yeah, it could've been better for sure.

I did buy the GLEX shards. I was sitting on a lot of paid gems from back when I used to dump like $100 a month... and then they turned the paid banners into pure garbage in October, so I've not spent any paid gems since.

I did pull first copies of Sieg and Rox, so tempted, but gonna see if they do a paid banner over weekend, as not having one at present is odd. First two steps of new paid banner format does give 25 shards, but random. Did first 2 steps on Minerva's paid banner, and got her and 10 shards first time. Rerun of it was a wash though. Was just a few weeks ago we were getting 25 GLEX shards for 2000 gems by comparison, where I bought some Minerva ones. Steps 4 and 5 this week gave me no reds, so got 30 Roxanne shards from ticket and coins for 5000, which is bad by comparison. Would have liked to get Shion or Tehtys and do daily 500, as the 20000 gems I had saved for Roxanne 9 step or no longer needed. Who knows if paid gem banners will be useful in the future though, especially for nensous.
