First off I'd like to say that I'm glad that these changes were implimented:
Re:ZERO Random Box NX Cost reduced from 4,000 NX to 3,200 NX on Non-Reboot Worlds
Re:ZERO Random Box NX Cost reduced from 4,000 NX to 2,200 NX on Reboot
Re:ZERO Random Box Meso reduced from 500,000,000 Mesos to 100,000,000 Mesos on Reboot
However, I believe that these next changes were a bad idea and misrepresented the intentions of the vocal community when we said "keep p2w out of reboot" :
Life in Another World Medal removed from the Re:ZERO Random Box on Reboot
Re:ZERO Medal removed from the Re:ZERO Random Box on Reboot
What we meant wasn't to remove the medals from the boxes but to change the boxes entirely so that only Re:Zero items remained. I believe I mentioned this on my previous post on here:

What made the random box desirable in the first place was the inclusion of the Re:Zero medals. What made the random box so controversial and "p2w" was the even more skewed rng against obtaining these medals by adding philosopher book / marvel content into the "Re:Zero" random box. I believe that if the only items that were in the box were Re:Zero themed then little to no one would have been outraged about the boxes.
Same goes for the Re:Zero surprise style boxes and the hair coupons. I'm still waiting for both of those to be addressed by Arwoo or Nexon. Like I mentioned in my other thread that I linked above, we don't want MVP surprise style boxes with Re:Zero perm nx, we want Re:Zero surprise style boxes with Re:Zero themed nx ONLY. Either that or individual purchases of these items or sets in cash shop.
Regarding the hairs, just do all Re:Zero hairs without being mixed with regular royals or sell individual hair coupons limited to 1 of each per account.
I don't think that any of these suggestions are unreasonable, or at least address these issues.

I definitely agree with this. If people knew that they were guaranteed a Re:Zero equip, they would have no problem dropping money on those surprise boxes in both non Reboot and Reboot. The could potentially make more money by changing it than what the box currently gives, as some people seem to say that Nexon needs to make money somehow on this event.
Exactly, if Re:Zero items were guaranteed people would stock up on duplicates for all their characters or to sell later in the year.
What's even more disappointing is that the main site said that there would be "Re:Zero Hair Coupons" as well...
Who knows,.. maybe they'll pull a Heroes of Maple on us and release the selective versions (re:zero only) the next cs update like they did weekly with HoM sets a week after HoM random boxes were introduced.
I'm really glad I never cared for the anime anyways, I'm happy with the Meso Shop.
