Upcoming Winter Update

That's true. I guess it's cause the Dec 19th update was "labeled" as the "Super less P2W" update.
The Mileage update did surprise me greatly.

Was it? We've only gotten snippets so far though, and some of the things they mention sound very promising and if it doesn't turn out that way it can still go the way of mileage and they'll tweak it to be even less p2w. Mileage alone is a pretty big deal. I probably wouldn't bother spending mileage in america just because we know it'll be 100% later though haha.

indeed.
Although sadly they decreased the amount of mileage you get from bosses. It went from about 120-200 to 50 mileage per boss.
Mileage quest can only have 10 quests done a day, so that gives you 500 mileage per day if you fight all bosses.
But still, with 100% mileage, thats wayyyy better than nothing. I finally get to cube without going through the struggle anymore.

There are still other ways of getting it though, and they're adding more on top of that. I don't really understand how it works in the first place though.

Basically, stock up on mileage while it's 30% and just sit on it lol.
