He did something extremely stupid, by trying to monetize a population that doesn't pay for his game. I mean lets be honest, if he ACTUALLY did that during the non-event season, the game would be 9 players the day after. PR was trying to get money once again, and he realizes: You can't monetize your community, if your community has been set in its ways of playing for free. Just look at EVE Online if you want a good example.

What I'm probably trying to say here is:

Making gifts rarer doesn't earn you money, it earns you disresprect and dislikes from grumpy people. It directly encourages people to exploit/not pay, and not to mention people are asking you to put in an event item/mount that's actually worth the effort. He's created no money, and more pressure on himself to make something worth by basically inputting this strategy.

Making the boss hard doesn't do anything, it encourages newer people to leave your game and makes entitled kids more entitled.

He's already made terrible decisions before Christmas event. You might argue that it's PR's game, but unfortunately if he wants money from his game, listen to what people are saying. It is the same spawn rate as last year the "10 %" chance is just an error of the wiki cuz trust me when I farmed for it took way more than every 10 round for a gift to spawn. And the wiki changed the spawnrate of the pink gift I doubt that the wiki would lie to the 5 people that still check irrelevent pages.
