Of course. The event list can't even be trusted because of UTC. In the end, every single time related issue leads back to UTC. There would be almost no event timing problems if any at all if it weren't for UTC. Nexon hasn't even kept their promises of "event time consistency starting July."
UTC is cancer. It's either Nexon changes back to an American timezone or we'll keep having to deal with these ridiculous inconsistencies. Because it's more than obvious now that Nexon can't even keep their promises to "make event times consistent" with UTC.
I'd rather this event never come back again if it's just going to be another 99% chance to get nothing but reward points. People should be guaranteed maple points in this event. Nexon's been fine with giiving away free maple points as seen with previous hot time boxes. For a 1 day event that you need to wait 10 hours for, sure as hell, people better be getting maple points. If not, it's a pretty pointless event as I see it.
Adding more p2w to the game isn't going to make the state any better. Even if you get Arcane equips from Marvel, that doesn't mean you're going to be strong enough to clear Lucid. You still have to progress far more than just that.
But none of that matters since Nexon's probably going to put them in regardless. It's just going to be a matter of when they'll put it in. Until Lucid clears and Arcane equips in the market at a reasonable price become common, I don't think it should be put in Marvel. It's then that the "Clearing Lucid is too big of an achievement to just downplay it like this" will wear off.
I'd rather they just always have the current PSSB rotation in the stamp shop so it'll essentially be a guarantee you at least get 1 thing you want after several boxes of disappointment (or failed whaling).
