It is not technically P2W since there are options in Discord to get it for free. But nothing is stopping you from paying if you want, I just know I am not.

There are plenty of events that come for specific mechs, often those that are not yet available in the gear hub, so this is not a new phenomenon. I guess because of all those acoins rewards it looks super tempting :-). Honestly though you aren't missing out on anything. Most people who got blizzfrost would have paid for it, and they could just as easily have paid for the acoins (and often do).

This event is probably meant to make f2ps jealous seeing all those acoins and migrate into the p2w / p2p camp :-).

They want that Christmas money... greedy companies love this time of year because people are in mindless spending mode, it's a scam to get Google Play card money from the little kids and credit card money from the mindless spenders.  

Yes there are plenty of events like this one. But the things is, the max number of acoins that u can get from this is 200 or so. I don't understand why plarium would just give free a-coins to those who spent only $10 or so. 

My point is if plarium gives free stuff to p2w why not f2ps? 

No one buying the mech so they trying to get sales buy offering an event like this?

How can one obtain it through Discord? 

Phishing is a deceptive cyberattack where scammers masquerade as trusted entities (such as banks, government agencies, or well-known brands) to trick you into revealing sensitive information. These attacks typically aim to steal credentials, credit card numbers, or personal data to commit identity theft or financial fraud. 

So either you're being sarcastic or you're an idiot.
