A really expensive anniversary event

I have been reading first impressions on the anniversary event from top players and they do not seem very happy.
It appears that buying the 3 weapons that are required costs 520 golds (Pistol 89 - AR 191 - Shotgun 340). That makes life very hard for iOSers outside the US who do not have access to the free gold provided by offers (available only in the US) and can collect only a few golds a week watching videos (which are also scarce).
And what you get in consideration for that little fortune is just 412 platinum coins and the R14 AR (which, if GLU keeps its pattern will be available for Hunter Bucks when R14 is released).
In other words, spending 340 golds for a shotgun less powerful than shotguns of higher regions, which only value is the AR prize (that, as I said, could be bought with HB when R14 is released) does not seem to be a good deal. The same for spending 180 golds for just getting a bunch of plats.
So I decided to pass. But then I realized that the look of the shotgun is "too strange" and started thinking that it looks a little bit like the Zombi events weapons. So it could be the weapon required for a future Zombi event. Thus, I started considering to buy it and do at least that series. But then I thought that if it is required in the future there will be an OTO for a price, probably, much lower than the 340G that it costs now.
In summary .... I am lost!
What it is clear (to me) is that the pistol and AR series are not worth the gold they cost (unless you are a filthy reach Androider ....)

No, I do not think so, though GLU is unpredictable. This has happened in the past but only in connection with cheaper event guns (usually the lower region series of an event when there are several as it happened with the R4 -if I remember correctly- pistol of the Rohman event which could be bought with HB some days before the event was over). The higher tier event weapons do not usually go on sale. But no one knows.
If your main goal is to get the assault rifle, I would not spend 340 golds buying the shotgun that will allow you to receive it. As I said, until now all standard higher region assault rifles that were awarded as a prize in events could be bought with Hunter Bucks when the region was released or shortly thereafter.
"Books for weapons" .....:cool:
