Not to defend gacha's predatory systems but do you have such a low impulse control that that's how you think gacha is meant to be played?

Like, hell, I tried out a few gachas last year for the first time, and honestly they were a pretty fun experience. It's just not a game type for people with low impulse control or for crybabbies that want every single thing in it (all characters, all weapons, all trinkets etc) as well as having them maxed out.

Let me use Genshin as an example: If you really want a specific banner character, you WILL get that character for absolutely free, by just playing the game. Sure, doing stuff like dailies help to save up for more currency and whatnot, especially if you've exhausted other ways of getting the currency

The other optional gacha (in mihoyo games specifically, in this case) like the Weapon gacha in Genshin is PURE whalebait. "But it's really good for my character!" You absolutely do NOT need it to have a solid team composition, and it is NEVER necessary. "No but this character is useless without this item!" No, it just means there are other characters that are better if you don't have that weapon, but the truth is that getting "the best stuff" in gacha is always for braindead whales that absolutely want to plow through everything and one shot everything effortlessly because they either can't be bothered to actually play the game well or they crave the power fantasy. Same thing for getting different copies of the same character so their passives are much better -- sure some of them may be great, especially the first copy, but it's absolutely not necessary. Just whalebait.

tl;dr gacha can be pretty fun if you don't have a baby's impulse control, if you want a specific character you will get it by just playing the game, and don't fall for whalebait shit
