![]() Sometimes it's just no use trying to explain an inside joke or rant about a very specific aspect of the game to someone that doesn't play. RELATED: Genshin Impact: Hilarious Paimon Memes That Have Us Laughing This beautiful open-world game has grown so popular that it has even gone as far as creating a huge community of fans from all around the world and where there are fandoms, there are memes. I ask that everyone also approach this thread respectfully, and keep the discussion that is to follow respectful as well.Thank you for your time in reading my post, and I hope that it has been a constructive endeavour.With the release of every new update, it's clear to see that Genshin Impact is keeping fans both invested and entertained with each and every step. In a separate post below, I will include useful links with information regarding gacha comparisons, rates, and the deleted thread that urged me to act and create this thread. ![]() Don’t be pressured to spend by big shot streamers and YouTube upstarts pouring thousands into this game. After all, this game can be enjoyed fully as F2P. That’s not to say stop playing, but just stop spending. Yes, whales will be whales and continue to spend huge, but even whales will run out of steam (and money), and a system that’s supported by a few whales is unsustainable in the long run. Until the rates and the built in gacha system are improved upon, and we are seen as real people and not just a convenient source of income from which MiHoYo can trick into this terrible economic loop, I ask of you as a community to stop buying the ingame micro transactions and the various season passes, so that MiHoYo can get the message. This is why I come to you all with a proposition I ask the community to please stop spending on this game until we, as consumers, are better treated and given the respect we deserve. Thinking about these costs unironically makes me shiver.īut in this capitalist society with which we find ourselves, money speaks louder than words. Then realize you need 7 copies of said 5 star character to truly experience them at their full potential. If you want an RPG horror story, just try to calculate how many rolls on average it will take to get a specific 5 star character that you want, and then convert the cost into whatever currency you use. But you can’t have the full player experience, to sate your curiousity with new characters or just have fun with the characters whose design you love, without either shilling out untold and unreasonable amounts of money, waiting almost a year for a ‘pity pull,’ or spending countless hours rerolling until you get a starting roll that you enjoy, which isn’t playing the game.When a new 5 star character comes out, are players going to make new accounts and reroll to try to get them too, abandoning all their previous progress? At this point they’ll be more obligated to participate in this predatory gacha system, by which point so you know, the pull rate get the specific character you desire off banner right now is about 0.06% (estimated), while banner has about a 0.3% chance without pity. You can sink tens of hours into this game without paying a dime. ![]() Yes, the exploration can be completed with everything they give you for free. Yes, you can enjoy the game without premium characters. While I love this game, and fully wish to be able to support MiHoYo for their wonderful work, the fact of the matter is that the gacha rates in this game are beyond predatory, and this monetization model they’re currently running beyond exploitive, and as a result, I find myself unable to even give a cent of my hard earned money to support these dubious business practices. Guess which one I’ve spent the most money on? ![]() However, the recent removal of a controversial (but in my opinion, necessary) thread that generated much discussion due to a cherry picked violation of rule 1 has convinced me to act.Just so you all have some insight, I’ve played MMOs and gacha games for basically all my life since I could get on the internet (over 10 years now), and have experienced things from Nexon’s horrible monetization models from Maplestory to Vindictus, to the casino rate odds of Black Desert lategame, to being actually respected as a consumer in Azur Lane. So I originally had little to no intention of making a thread like this, instead wishing to stay silent and watch as the storm inevitably blows over. I thought I'd bring my arduous quest here, as I'm sure many of you are playing or have played the hot new flavor of the month, Genshin Impact. The reason I'm posting this here instead of r/Genshin_Impact is because my original post has been deleted by the moderators of that subreddit without being given a proper reason while not violating any of the rules of said subreddit.
