Uhm Selphi, this is really a bad change. True, loads of normal players haven't used SW other than the whales, but it really has ruined my impression of the game. I know developers retain the rights to their games and the right to change the game whenever they want to the way they see fit, but players, especially those who are actually supporting the game with lots of money, are an important demographic they cannot alienate if they want the game to keep going on. I'm sure they already lost some cash supporters through this event. If this ever happens again the game will lose even more supporters. That's a one-way ticket to getting the game shut down. No player trust = game over.

Yes there is Walpurgis, but that's for heavy cashers to go for. This was a card lots of people wanted in part because of alignment, light cashers included. I myself bought gold to push further in the hopes of securing her and magatamas. I'm just counting my blessings I hadn't bought or used the items yet, but I have already paid for the gold. My money is already gone. I can spend it on another event, but this really sets a bad precedence and I am no longer certain that I can secure what I want  in that future event instead of having it swapped after I'd already committed to it. That coupled with the fact that they didn't even give us a reason for changing her alignment really makes me doubtful about whether or not I want to even continue supporting the game with my money. I think a lot of players who have invested hard earned money or money they saved from giving up other things into the cards in the game will be inclined to stop doing it if Zynga pulls something like this again.

This also gimped a lot of players who had to choose between a good divina defender or Saizo for any reason. I'm in such a position. I can no longer compete for Saizo without putting in loads of effort or money, and this is the second main, personal reason I think this change was a terrible reason.

As a last word, I think the fact that Saizo is still phantom as of now should silence the people who claim she should be anima since she was anima. Saizo and Sasuke, as well as Hattori and Yagyu, were all portrayed as heroes of the Ninja period who were divina because of that. In addition to that, the Yukimura Sanada Moon-viewing card specifically mentioned Saizo and Sasuke as allies when he was introduced in a shop - allies of a great hero and one of the best non-bell divina cards in the game. And he's still phantom as of now. Does that even make sense? Does anything Zynga does make sense?

TL;DR, two main reasons why this change was terrible. Sets a terrible precedence and screwed a lot of players who support the game with cash over. And it's not even explained or for the sake of consistency or whatever.
