I still play and enjoy the game, but I can hardly be bothered to build characters anymore. When you've already got dozens of viable characters to use, what is even the point?

It just takes too long to be worth it. My Varesa is still only maybe half built and Iansan is still level 1. Game needs some time saving QoL updates.

Heres a fun one in spanish by me: What's the relation between Iansan from Genshin Impact and the virgin Mary, our lady of the light?
I have to use what a learned by growing up in a catholic family.

The gacha model is, fundamentally, about extracting value out of a mass market that is too unequal to support a world where the average player is spending something close to your ARPU. It explicitly exploits the drastic income and wealth inequalities that exist in these markets.
Or, in other worlds: gacha doesn't work in emerging markets because people in these markets have no money. It works because the money is there, but very unevenly distributed. The bulk of Free Fire's audience is low-income people in SE Asia and Latin America; but the game makes its money off the minority of people in its audience who can afford to spend a lot of money on it -- significantly more than the $70 someone would spend on a conventional AAA game.

HELP! My Genshin Impact suddenly turned into Pokémon!

(12 Barbaras and 10 Sucroses later)
Husbando finally came home last night! (and brought a hot 5-star girl with him. No complaints there)
(And another Barbara. I swear that girl is chasing me).

Me: "I have enough Primogems to make 60 wishes and Ororon is a 4-Star character. I surely get him"
(9600 Primogems spent later)
- 3 Barbaras
- 3 Surcroses
- 2 random 4-Star weapons I don't need
- 0 Ororon
Husbando didn't came home tonight.

It took dozens of hours, but I finally have my first character with C0 max level on all their main skills.
It was boring at times, but making 200000+ damage in one hit is soooooo damn satisfying.
Yes, Navia is my waif... I mean, my main.

This game is very addicting to play, and I am getting into the story more with the quests and I just get on do the story quests when I can. I think i get caught up with the story then just do dailies every day till the next big update once I am caught up. I want to try Honkai because from what I have heard it is better in every way but I want to get caught up with this first

I spend all my saturday farming for items to level up my waif... new character Navia. Now I have a level 90 Geo Character with a build that allows for 40.000+ DMG with her umbrella-shotgun.
I know I'm part of the problem (I didn't spend any money, tho) but It felt really, really rewarding .

Three years later, this game keeps surprising me.
I used to hate the Archon Furina. I just finished the Fontaine chapter. Now I know her story hand hoy much she suffered. I endend in tears.
I still can't believe how a free game can have such a great story.

I just wanted to tell you that I got the waif... character I wanted and I'm very happy!
I still haven't spent a single peso on this game.

I think though playing this for about 2-4 hours a day wont hurt though.
