Here's what I think happened:  GUMI was going to change her skill (and maybe abilities) so she will be a buffer. They were like "Look, Beast Continent will be out 'soon' and it's full of ridiculous fist fighters.  Unlike JPCC, our playerbase can see what coming up so they'll ignore Monette since she pales in comparison to them as a fighter.  It will impact our sales.  How about we change Monette up a bit so those who are thinking about skipping her will now become interested?  Hmmm...let's give her a buff skill.  Make her useful in demon raids for some players.  I think that's for the best." So they release the ad that Monette's skill would become a buff.

Playerbase become divided: one part cheered and welcomed the change, another went "WTF?!" and abhorred it, another part was indifferent about it. While players who welcomed the change celebrated among themselves, the ones who didn't sent angry emails to GUMI about it (maybe included threats of walking away/closing their wallet/file for refunds...the likes.)  So GUMI was like, "Oh shi--! Guess nobody likes Monette being a buffer.  Ok, let's rollback the changes." So the final rollout was Monette unchanged from JPCC version. The players who sent them angry emails breathe a sigh of relief. But now, those who have been cheering and expecting a buffer became flabbergasted and are now calling out GUMI for false advertising.

Or at least, that's what I think.
