Monster Familiar System Update

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.

I don't have a problem with farming every 30 days IF it was only about an hour for rare/legend familiars. As I said, 1 hime card WITH Big Cloud Fox on for increased mush shrine droprate took 21 hours...that's just silly for 30 day timelimit, that's quite literally a 1/30 ratio for time spent getting:time actually active, which is beyond useless to me, since I'm already a "burst" player, if I play 20 hours in a day I won't play again for a week, usually.
