There are quite a few things I would add to your payment model, but the largest one is simply giving those that would otherwise never buy anything a taste of what it's like to be fabulous.

I'm talking freebies for everyone. Every time there's a promotion, give everyone a prize box for free. There are obvious technical details making this harder, but I'll get to those later. You give the the prize box because it equalizes everyone over time and because it's how you breed paying players. Without it, many people will never understand that what you're selling is worth buying due to the stigma against microtransactions. It also does wonders for your PR, which isn't necessarily bad but has certainly been damaged by the lack of updates and numerous prize boxes you've released.

Now. In order to receive your prize box you must have a certain amount of time in game played on one knight, say 100 hours or so, and a unique IP address. This way, it's harder for alt accounts to collect boxes. The boxes and accessories could also come bound if need be. This way, you don't have people selling whatever they get immediately, and the costumes they get would be impossible to sell while the accessories they get would at the very least be more expensive to sell. There are other ways to deter, but it might be worth giving to people just verbatim without much hassle with trading, since letting them profit off of their unwanted goods would be a part of the experience.

I suggested something similar

I suggested something similar to that like last year, it would be nice if everybody receives 1 pbs/promotion.

Also, how about slightly decreasing the price of prize boxes??? Or atleast increasing the amount of pbs on the same price?

i'd like this

Alternatively to this, some sort of daily login token would be cool, and you can exchange a certain amount of these tokens for the current promotional box or a surprise box.

Perhaps even make it so you have to have over 5,000 prestige to get the free box. You can easily get that amount of prestige just by doing the rank missions, and it would give lower ranked knights a reason to run prestige missions (while also making it less useless). It's also an indication of an invested player, as they either play the game enough to get to vanguard, or they play the daily prestige missions enough to warrant a free box every promo.

Just to reiterate, here's a lovely thread on Reddit where this is happening as we speak in Japan-

"When you invest in your players, they invest in you."

As for your token idea, yes, that's fine, it's just another way of doing this that makes people work for it a bit. GungHo does that too- they release monthly challenge dungeons consisting of random bits of other dungeons that give a ton of rewards out for clearing it the first time.
