I don't think it's a matter of money this time.
It's a matter of keeping us committed and occupied.
If I finally got the familiar I want, I'll want to use it as much as possible before it expires. So I'm not going to skip any possible mapling time in the next 30 days. Right?
Also, if you could just hunt for an hour or 30 and get the familiar you want and that's it, you might run out of things to do in the game. Having to repeat this task every month gives you something to do.
Of course they neglected the disincentive, as evidenced by the "it's not worth bothering with" sentiment expressed here.
Looking around me in Kradia I see a lot of people with familiars, and not just snails and mushrooms. Right now people find amusement in getting them, even though they're time-limited. We'll have to see how long it lasts.
