I just created this to back up my point a little. I'm looking at this from the perspective of a company seeking profits, so I wasn't really great about finding cons but I think it's also because they don't exist.
Universal pro: lower prices incite more buying
Universal pro: unlimited stock
Miracle Cubes
Pros:
Near infinite need
Rarely give good stats
Decent skills
Cons:
Once you're done cubing, given the current game status, you're done for good. Still hardly a con because it takes so long to get good stats.
Pam's Song
Pros:
The best scrolls only have a 70% chance of working leaving lots of opportunities for failure and more need for Pam's Song
5 - 10 slots per equip
Near infinite need
Cons:
I can't think of any
Perm Baby Tiger
Pros:
Creates a circle of having to buy new additions every 3 months, would make players feel more obligated to do so since it will be wandering around uselessly behind them
Cons:
Could hurt pet sales in the future
Gachpon Tickets:
Pros:
Low chances of getting anything good
Good items are really good
Cons:
Horrible for the economy if left available too long.
Silver Meso Sacks
Pros:
Random chance at decent numbers is provocative
Cons:
Destroys economy
SP Resets
Pros:
Free money from FUD
Cons:
Makes them look bad for profitting off FUD
AP Resets:
Pros:
HP Washers are insane about these things
A huge need for them for several jobs, and a huge want for others
New characters that miss this sale will still need them
Cons:
Once a character is done, they're done for good
2x exp coupon:
Pros:
Gets people buying them again even when they don't feel like training is necessary
Cons:
Not a huge need for them
Not many good reasons to buy them
Vicious Hammer
Pros:
Who doesn't want two more slots per equip?
Equipment is ever changing meaning this won't hurt sales as long as they bring something better out quickly
Cons:
Finite need.
6 hours of infinite stock, watching people smega their new amazing and "cheap" equipment throughout the day just creates advertising for them and more reasons for people to go charge some NX. They could rake in tens of thousands easily from this event by leaving it open. And at this point in the game, with all of the changes coming, it would hardly effect it. Win win for them
