No? Removing orbs which give you free rolls on the Pachinko and replacing them with virtually worthless 1-star girls doesn't degrade a player's ability to earn those legendary girls that are critical for league and season success?
Limiting the ability to earn orbs when they were there before, for a feature that costs kobans (which can be earned slowly, granted) which are mostly earned from money, means that those who have more money to spend on the game will be more successful than those who are earning 150 kb a day, and therefore have to save up 27 days in a row to participate in one special event once. Or, earning the kobans equivalent to one orb every 5 days. On average, fighting villains, I've seen the odds fall where you earn about an orb a day before this change went into play.
So, limiting people's access to "free" pachinko plays from about 1/day to 1 per 5 days and the only way around that being to pay money doesn't seem like a cash grab by Kinkoid?
Must be nice to have that kind of spare cash.
