Yeah well. EA got their filthy hands on this game. We are cooked. EVERYTHING EA TOUCHES MEETS THEIR DEMISE

Gacha System Change

First off, I love BA, I've been playing since D.Hina banner so about 2 years about now. I love from the gameplay, the stories, the art, the students, and the community. But Nexon has recently announced changes in the jp livestream to the pity system which squeezes all the players to spend more. It just smells corporate greed and anti-consumerism. We won't get these changes just yet but if they do, global will get these changes when we catch up to JP/KR. Please Nexon, listen to your community or a good portion of the community will leave and find something else! I can't in good conscience recommend this game if they follow through with the changes.
