But I never said I was expecting to get this girl without spending real money on refills. Call this an experiment to see how the system performs. In the past I got Levitya, Norou and Golden Bunny on their first events and did anywhere from 2-10 refills each to do it. I got the twins on their debut event without spending kobans. I missed out on Taria after spending some kobans. Just the luck of the draw.
Looking at this new system before the event I knew it would be virtually impossible to get this girl first try without spending kobans, whereas under the old system there was always a small chance to do just that. Maybe my drop rate on shards has been more unlucky than most (I have always been able to accept bad luck, have no doubt), but so far I am simply not liking this new system. So far in this experiment I remain... disappointed. If this is any indication many of us will need future revival events by the truckload (unless we want to spend all our hard earned kobans on refills).
