Especially those that were on the fence the first time Bo's event was live and decided not to whale on her back then.
Yes, but how many is that? They would seem to be people in my situation in game, unless they're buying shards for cash. And if you're buying shards for cash, I don't know why you would do that this time but not last time. I mean, you make the case about LV counters, but NewBo is not a "cheap" counter at this point. Someday, sure. She's a non GL that requires only 4 toons at r7 to get her, which is a heck of a lot more than you need for, say, Palp, but a lot less than you need for LV.
But in this context where all the LV toons are accelerated and Bo requires purchasing shards, I wouldn't call her a "cheap" counter yet.
I guess it's hard for me to get into the mindset of someone who buys shards for cash since I don't do that, but it just seems like if you were going to spend cash on shards, you already had the opportunity to do that and DCs don't change that.
Again, I'm kind of on the fence with New Bo. If it cost 12k to finish her requirements I would probably do it. At 8k I would DEFINITELY do it. At 24k, I won't. But that implies that somewhere in between 12 and 24 there's a point where the decision would be really difficult for me and I might just drop the crystals. I don't know where that point is, probably not exactly in the middle, but maybe around 16k? I don't know what I would do if the costs came down that much.
So, sure, there will be some people who will buy shards to go for New Bo now. But how many? I just see the number as being pretty small.
So if there were 2400 IG+G in the game already, we'll just have to see how many more exist by the end of next week. That will probably tell us how many people were really driven by this opportunity to spend.
