The only things Bandai has done is give generic answers (that we all know) to any inquiries anybody makes in their support page, they deleted another user's Facebook post regarding the rates in OPTC's official Facebook page, and removed the files that Heathtech used to get the information of rare recruit rates. But other than that nothing has happened which is why I believe that Bandai is trying to shove this entire situation under the rug and let players forget about the true rates. Which is sad to say but it is slowly succeeding especially with the playerbase divided on the matter, players losing hope/will to fight, several players have jumped to the JPN version, and whales are still spending money on the game.

Ah, so true despair. Ah well. Guess I have one less phone game to play.

I needed a break anyway, but I have been feeling the urge again. It's my damn love for One Piece.

Don't let yourself be suckered my man. It's a shame that this is the way it is but it's better to leave it then accept being fucked over at this point. I don't understand why such a large portion of this community wants it to be this way, but life goes on without shitty mobile gatcha games

I'm not just going to leave the game since I have invested money and over 950 days in this game. But I will no longer be spending money nor will I play the same amount of time as I used to. And I will continue to play less until one day I just stop playing altogether because if I don't get any of the top tier legends that allow me to beat content 40-80 times faster and easier I will keep losing interest which is starting to slowly happen since my best captains are Jinbei (who is slow) and Kuzan (who isn't top tier or reliable). And with the newer content coming to GBL if you don't have any of the top tier captains you will be spending much more time to beat the same content which I currently don't want to spend the time nor have the patience to do so in this game.

I don't understand why such a large portion of this community wants it to be this way

I believe that people don't mind having the legend rates being at 2.2% (their main argument is "legends are suppose to be rare so them being 2.2% is good") and don't understand that the reason people were outraged wasn't the 2.2% to pull a legend but that Bandai changed the rates of units in whatever fashion they felt like allowing certain (mainly the newest legends) have an abysmal chance to getting pulled and boosting V1 Strawhats by a large amount despite them not being boosted in the Sugo. But they don't see it that way they just think we are mad about the 2.2% legend rate and so they don't support our cause. And you can look at comments people make and see that this is the case for some people. They don't mind Bandai shafting them which will be funny when Anni comes around and we don't get guaranteed Gear 4 after 6 multis and during the Anni Sugo the legends they pull are all the older legends that Bandai secretly boost higher and they will complain about only getting old legends. And if only someone or a community would have warned them about this sooner. If only. But by the time Anni comes I don't think their would be that many players who are willing to fight Bandai anymore. So unless someone is able to rally everyone up it will fail again.

Then we have others who play JPN and don't care what happens to GBL and then GBL players who jumped ships to JPN instead of trying to make GBL better because they think that this small community won't make a difference and have stopped trying to make a difference. Despite there being some evidence that we did make a difference. Like that one user who posted in Facebook about the real rates and Bandai deleted their comment or how Bandai moved the files for Sugo rates so Heathtech couldn't have access to them. And the recent guranteed red after 3 multis might have also being something they decided to add at the last minute since it is weird for it to come on the Usopp Sugo.

Lastly we have the Facebook and Twitter people who at first were outraged about this but whenever Bandai throws a shiny new toy at them they forget things. And with the recent 6* Usopp Sugo it calmed those people down a tad who were our main forces since they outnumber us and can be convinced easier.

life goes on without shitty mobile gatcha games

It does. And that is why for me OPTC will be my last gatcha game (especially after Bandai doing this and seeing stuff from other gatcha games) and potentially this will be my last mobile game. I've played several mobile games and have learned how they operate but at this time I don't have the money to invest in either a console or computer so I have to settle for this at the moment. So hopefully I can find a good job in the near future and just buy some 3DS games and a Nintendo Switch and just play those games and not have to worry about Micro-transaction when I play outside my home. And for home I just get either a good gaming PC or some consoles and just forget about mobile games all together.
