Bandai has always been about money since day one. From high DS prices to low compensations to crap summoning rates, they've never once given the impression of a company that puts players ahead of money. How anyone can see Bandai as a player-friendly company is beyond me.

All that being said, you weren't "tricked". You looked at the JP timeline, assumed the SS4s were the best use of your saved stones, ignored the possiblity of something unique coming to global (despite global deviating from JP over the last few months), and spent all your stones anyways. Granted, a lot of us (myself included) did the same thing, but at the end of the day we could just have easily saved a couple hundred stones or some money to buy stones.

Playing devil's advocate, there's no guarantee Bandai had this planned before the SS4s, and there's also no guarantee they chose to do this because everyone is stoneless. Releasing Gogeta for the global 2 year celebration may have been planned for a long time, or maybe someone came up with it a few days ago. Considering their track record, I would agree that this is probably a ploy for money, but it ultimately wasn't a "trick" because Bandai has always been this way. It's as much of a "trick" as Donald Trump not doing very well at a job he wasn't qualified for (not trying to make a political statement here, it's just a metaphor considering his low approval ratings and rather ineffective policies so far).

Also, no one is "forced" to summon on any banner considering this game is singleplayer and there really isn't a "meta" since there's no competition outside of WT, only collecting cards you want :)
