Flash sales happens to up CE/cr rate transfer so when they launch Gunner update (this Wednesday or the next one) ppl will transfer cr to ce on a higher rate and OOO will make money cause F2P will ruin themselves faster with higher Ce to cr convert. Also the flash sale will push ppl toward buying ce when Gunner update finally arrives.
Because I don't see why they would do a flash sale atm... right after valentines and before homecoming in April. They have to sustain an update going on... SOON as they might say.
*sips tea*
I can read between the lines... can you?
ETA on Gunner update by Shamanalah: 5th March or 12th
I would guess Tortos before gunner, just because I don't think gunner is ready yet.
