Finally got my first 5 star from this banner and it's Qiqi... Probably wont be able to get enough gems for another 90 pulls so looks like I am no longer f2p. Ganyu is worth the money though so I don't mind

Got Ganyuu on new banner day, slowly ascending and upgrading her, limiting my mora spend to 500,000 weekly as per the BP for now Once thats ended I will probably splurge more.
Currently Level 60. Need to upgrade artifacts and going for the Wanderers set.

Really need to focus on the story, but mainly spending the time using up resin and doing daily commissions, now got the additional extra events so doing those too for Primos for the next worthy banner with a nice waifu.

Just saw the event announcement.
Liyue Chinese New Year event :P
Also seems like you can choose a free liyue 4 star, and also lots of primos, and Xiao banner.

I'm starting to think this game has a system that is pretty exploitative and predatory. Literally, every aspect of the game requires real money to progress and they can keep you stuck for a long time in the game. You spent an atrocious amount of money, time and effort to play this game. Even the value of primogems you can buy stuff are so low, you almost have to buy multiple times to supplement your resources. It's like the game is screaming at you all the time, "Spend more money non-stop."

And there is no way a high quality game like this will not expect you not to pay for anything at all. Diehard f2p in this game is a myth. There is indeed a paywall in this game and it is that exp cards thing. No way in hell will you have enough if you didn't draw the right team compositions right from the beginning before AR 25. Once you level a bunch of characters to only realize they are not for you, you are screwed. No truly new players will enjoy this game the diehard f2p way. It is a miserable experience. Even paying customers have difficulties already.

And all the other restrictions they put with their game mechanics don't make it any better later in the AR levels. I don't even need to reach there to know how it's like anymore, when the lower AR levels is pretty coercive at making you spend money. The resin and the abysmal drop rate of higher grade items will kill everything for you.

And oh, they even automatically upgrade world levels for you if an ascension quest is not needed. Like nobody asked for that, when your characters are still in need of farming certain bosses. Now they make it impossible for me to clear Oceanid, thanks. Some characters like Razor is all about damage and yet he drops like a fly without any shield or healing. His elemental burst stinks too in the fact that you cannot swap him out once you pop it or you lose dmg. In the first place, half the time, you are only going to get knocked around like an idiot. Thanks for not warning me about this, the gacha community. Now, I need even more money to fix everything. Defense, shield, crowd control and healing are more important than you think. Even not flinching and not being interrupted is important. They just love to show videos of how every fucking characters can do OP dmg with of course, real money to put into it.

So much for having 5 star characters now when I see the game system and mechanics combined with the business model. Bunch of restrictions make this game pretty much heavy resource farming that is going to literally saps your life away. And every person I seen all have spent money on this game. Diehard f2p players are literally screwed the moment they made one mistake. I doubt most of them ever make it to the higher AR levels to be honest.

This video is posted back then, and it does have some points illustrated, though not exactly the same as mine, and I don't see them changing it at all. It has been some time already.

@BrightFlashLight

The only real problem in the game is resin system.

Resin I find to be ok. you get around 200 a day, I used that to cap my play time to a couple of hours a day. That said I also now have 100 fragile resin stocked up.
Also didn't they add fragile resin to the BP rewards with the new update?

It's 180 per day and it's not sufficient to farm good artifacts. I've got like one good artifact drop and I have been farming for days now. It sucks especially when you have bad RNG.

This ^^

It took me 2 and half weeks just to get good artifacts for Ganyu. The "Cryo Dmg Bonus" Goblet was the one that took the longest because the game just did not want to give it to me and when I finally got my desired goblet, it was from a Hydro set and the substats were dogshit (HP, HP%, Def and Def%). I was like "Fuck it! I don't care. I got my goblet. I'm moving on to building another characters" lol.

Yep! also got xiao recently when I didn't intend to, mainly because i'm waiting to try for hu tao but that only seems like a dead dream as i only have 10 rolls saved up rn.

it's amazing how f2p friendly it is, it doesn't shove offers like other games does. but it's still tempting to spend money, especially after there isn't a lot of easy ways to get primogems without rerolling and there's a character you really want in the limited bannner
