Why are the Gachapon rates so low?

I haven't been playing long but the gachapon rates are extremely low when compared to literally any other game to the point that it feels like an insult to the players. 0.13% for the promoted outfit in a fashion gachapon? Yikes, and now it's even worse with the Resplendent Wing Box bottoming out at a 0.02% to 0.08% for any of the orbs which come with multiple items but still way too low. Do people really find this okay? The biggest insult is that they throw tons of "consolation" items just to buffer out the things that actually matter into the gachapon list. They should seriously make a seperate item shop listing for some of these "consolation" items.

To be clear about the poll I made, Raising the rates would be increasing the percentage and making them easier to be pulled for rarer items (and possibly removing some of the consolation items).

    Do you want to change the number of items that can be won? If not then the lower rates being raised have to be paid for with higher rate stuff having their rates lowered; remember they all have to add up to 100%. When Nexon sets their rates they are setting their expected return for items; what Nexon wants/needs to earn. Nexon could do away with gachapon entirely and just offer the items at their expected rate of return. If you do the math you might find it shocking how expensive they'd be. The best way to get them to change is to stop buying gachapon and only buy stuff that you can directly. Make sure to keep saying what you are doing here and on dischord and encourage others to do so, as well, because that's the only thing that will have a chance to have an effect. Changing the rates effects their bottom line and ... well ... you know corporations.
