Hi everyone! I am seeing a lot of turmoil and confusion over the upcoming 3.1 Spending Event. So I wanted to make a graphic and discuss why this event is not only valuable, but MUCH better than people are making it out to be.

**Fact**:  
A spending event for Gatcha Games using the model of 50/50 pity system has two directives:  
1. Give Whales who already spend money/used up Top Up Double bonuses something to look forward to  
2. Incentivize First time Spenders or Dolphins to take the step to drop a larger amount than they normally would.

None of the items in this spending event would change how your game is played only the speed at which they are acquired. Yes even a character or standard weapon is something as an F2P YOU can save up for horizontal and vertical investment. The characters are the heart of the game, but Wuthering Waves core gameplay has much more to offer than its characters alone.  
Prize Breakdown:  
\-**More Pulls**: you spent money and got more pulls? Shocker  
\-**Hood Ornament and Bike Skin**: its cute, but you also have dozens of Bike Skins in game  
\-**Standard Weapon**: you will get one thanks to the standard weapon banner  
\-**3x Transducer**: not only is this one of the bad rewards of the event, but you can also purchase them in the Afterglow Coral Shop 2x monthly and 99x if you have an abundance of Corals  
\-**Jinshi, Shorekeeper, Camellya**: This is a reasonable prize for the amount spent to get there. \~$150 for premium currency to use anywhere and 3 of the most popular characters. Waveband (dupes) value can be questioned for the DPS. But Shorekeeper S1 opens up team flexibility like crazy.  
\-**$250 Crown Set**: whale prizes, people who are willing to spend this much get all previous rewards, and are likely trying to obtain something on banner and not a tiny crown.

**Opinion**:  
This spending event has good value for those who were planning on pulling for some of the most popular upcoming characters (Aemeath and Luuk). These prizes on the track are **NOT NEEDED** for your account. They are not worthless, but will not effect your day to day in WuWa. You also **DO NOT NEED TO BUY EVERYTHING**. So many people focus on the Crown that is so astronomically high and far away from the higher spending of a 1 time purchase. Stopping at the 5 star selector, standard weapon, or even bike skin is completely fine! The Crown is a prize for whales who likely already drop $100 on the game monthly, giving them a small cosmetic set WILL NOT EFFECT YOU.  
  
I find it extremely annoying that people push the agenda that Kuro Games has gone full evil because they're making the purchases more valuable on a time where people are gonna be spending. It is also true that Spending Events incentivizes people give spending money on the game a try. But if your enjoying the games quality, how Kuro Games get there is by people who did or still are spending money on the game. That does NOT mean you have to or are forced to. The game is and always will be free, with so much beyond whaling out on a character as your main source of gameplay.  
You want to see a terrible spending event? Go look at other games ifykyk.

In my opinion, the spending event has pretty good value if you stop at 980 points.
