my only guess is that there weren't enough Chinese manchildren who would throw their and their extended family's life savings into this game for pay-to-win (otherwise known as "whales" in the industry, apparently). i guess there weren't enough people willing to put up with RNGsus to pure merge their best ADV SRs and encyclopedia competionists.

although i suppose since the Americas region is the only region still having Destiny Orbs up until the day this game closes, then i guess that means all the whales were in America rather than China and Korea.
