I think these changes are entirely a reaction to the failure of the last episode. I stopped playing half way through day 1 and then just farmed for cubes on the level 3 mission on and off for the rest... and still ranked around 5000. So that says to me that not many were playing hard and therefore, not many paying much either. I'd wager it was a low revenue disaster for Mobage and they finally realised people were drifting away.

So in response they thought they better start giving back what they took away as their greed got out of hand and the revenues started to plummet. After two resource-draining events prior to "To the Rescue", this is an easy place to start returning stuff to coax players back. I'd also venture that we might get a few raid-style events in a row before the next dungeon crawl.
