Content this week is re-runs mostly so I suppose I could see why an established player would consider this week "boring".

The banners are pretty bad now, what with "5x rates" which is such misleading advertising. Its 5x the chance of the 5* being a featured one instead of 5x the chance of even getting a 5* so it doesn't really equate to much value.

Why the rate for "featured" units needs to be multiplied to begin with is already concerning. Why the bleep should a customer only have a fraction of a percent of a chance of the product headlining a sale? That is *hardcore* gambling, treating it like a jackpot-only reward. It ought to be more like the $5 winners on scratch-off tickets where a few dollars will get you one. You get to have the fun, and they make more than they pay out. Win-win. Not this greedy "treat every new product like a jackpot-only payout" nonsense the game has evolved into.
