Bring back the Wishbone event & Tail Gachapon
Hello everyone, I am a user from server Ruairi. I've read that several people including me, for personal studying reasons or house problems have left the game behind months ago. But me and my friends are back!
It seems like they have introduced new, interesting and fun games, including the "Tail Gachapon" that I have been waiting for so long. I would love to have it back, since I really wanted to participte but, for unfortunate reasons, couldnt. In my personal opinion, it would be a great oportunity for people who came back, just like my friends and I did, to enjoy the game.

The permanent tails are from the god awful wishbone event where you collect wishbones from the afk-event (you collect random bugs, where you actually collect rare random bug because you need one of each) or from buying gachapon--- yes a pay-to-"win" event. 820 wishbones to be exact. You get 2-4 wishbones from using a Tail Gachapon. Math says no.
there's a reason why the regular permanent tail prices are so inflated - it's because the drop rate was so abysmal, you literally have no chance at getting a tail unless a: rng jesus is on your side, or b: you pump $200 usd+ into the wishbone gacha / packages to be able to redeem them in for a permanent tail, and even then the tail you get is randomised.
and the final kicker is that going f2p locks you out of majority of the rewards during the event, too. unless nexon revamps the event to not be so biased towards p2w players, it shouldn't come back again.
It was bad enough they improved it halfway by doubling the wishbones from the wishbone event and gacha drops.
In any case, I am always for more tails. I think as far as improvements go, they are hard to make. Mine goes as follows
-Ixnay on the temporary tails that need a 4$ coupon every 3 months. That is utter crap. Replace them with permanent tails without altering the drop rate to be lower. If anything, they should higher.
-Make the droprate higher this time around.
-Honestly, avoid tying an ingame event with gachapons.
-Keep the reward system that would grant permanent tails if you bought enough, but lower it to make it feasible, and keep it a seperate, webshop thing to avoid being intrusive.
However, with the midway revamp, the wishbone event rewarded a 5x level fruit every day, which would make getting to level 200 easy. That's something to consider. It was also "AFK for 36 minutes for a chance of getting your bugs at a low droprate, max of 5 chances a day" sort of thing.
It was pretty much a huge cash grab.
The event and sale were so poorly planned and lacked any calculations, that it had me thinking Nexon was as dimwitted as Gaia Online's marketing team.
