I'm still pretty neutral towards what happens on PangYa US. (though, I obviously disagree with some of the decisions made) I've actually been pretty happy with the recent updates, starting with the Card Holic update. Cards for $1.80, only $0.30 more than the KR price, on a server with Time Boosters priced at $1.20 and Auto-Calipers at $3.00?! Are you kidding me?! I was shocked, along with quite a few of my friends. Around this time I was saying to them: "Maybe NTreev is finally turning things around?"
Gacha has high rates for its cost, honestly. Scratch Card rates seem to be near zero in comparison (for people with average luck). Ironically, I've had better luck with Scratch Cards than Gacha Coins.
People are wondering what the next Gacha rare will be. Some say Rune Fairy Wings. I don't really have an opinion on this. All I know is, I hope they release Rings in Gacha! Would be a perfect way to use that system, and they would get a lot of money from people trying to get a precious Crimson / Hybrid / Promise Ring. From what they're doing, it looks like Scratch Cards (besides Wedding Dresses, but that hardly counts since PangYa US is so flipping behind) is going to be for re-releasing old rares, and new rares will be in Gacha. That's my theory.
My selfish thought on the game's bugs is that they aren't a huge impact on the game... though I'm sure they are for quite a few people. Namely, that pesky Messenger bug. I've never crashed from it, and probably never will, but it seems people still do... They really need to put that to a higher priority than it is. We never have really been able to speak to our friends properly since that one update. I can't remember which update that is now since it has been so long!

Ventus
What the hell was the thought process for the current event(s)? We get the KR event, but with headsets replaced with feathers. If you're one of the one hundred people that win a papel rare, gee, I wonder what you get. The only good part of that is the 50 people that win Scratchy rares, but this is only good for those players that do not spend any money. Nearly everyone else has already spent money on the 2x Scratchy rates event, and gotten items!
Having three money saving events one right after another is a great way to get a lot of money at once, but probably not all that great in the long run... people will be out of money after these events and probably will not charge more for a while.
I'm beginning to wonder if feathers will ever leave our game, like they should have long ago, and actually be worth something. Will we always have some sort of event with feathers as the consolation prize? I sure hope not.

Luck
Latest rage is directed to the people that complain about spending a large amount of money on scratch cards / gacha / cardpacks and not winning anything. These two things are no different than real life gambling, really. Use your head, people. Plenty of people spend hundreds to thousands in actual gambling and come back empty handed. Such is the lottery; the odds are stacked against you.
I have a friend that embodies a motto of his from a few months ago: "It's all good." Though he is quite unlucky with his gambling, he continues, saying things to the effect of "It's all good, I'll just try again!" and refrains from complaining about his failures. I find this to be a quite mature outlook, and one that I follow myself. When I was a child, I used to complain about doing the simplest things. These days, I reluctantly do what needs to be done, not voicing my complaints.
To extend on this topic, I am also quite tired of the mindset some people have lately. People post threads complaining about their luck, which is perfectly fine, by the way; that's what forums are for. Sure, I disagree with the concept of complaining, but I can't deny people's freedom to speak. Anyway, people find these threads and feel the need to trump (read: post a worse situation) than the original poster's situation. For example, if someone posted a thread saying they wasted $50 on scratchy cards and received nothing, someone posts later saying something like "You think you've had it bad? I've wasted $100 on this and have gotten nothing!" What a childish, attention-garnering, annoying, and unnecessary response. You'd be better off posting nothing.
Naturally, I usually ignore such threads now.
In conclusion, get over it. If you aren't getting what you want, spend some more money and try again! Obviously, this is a very deluded response and can't just be followed out of the blue (for most people). That's the only option available for you, though.
