>Soulful events
Particularly stuff like the Ghost Hunting Squad and Aetherium Wars
>Simulated Universe expansions
All the excitement and strategy around Swarm Disaster, trying to figure out how to clear it, unlocking the Propagation path for the Simulated Universe was kino.
>Constant QoL additions
Genshin players used to whine how often we were getting stuff they could never dream of, they've slown down drastically
>4 stars not being completely useless
I know this one is a bit of a stretch because a lot of the 4 stars are fundamentally not that good paired with the power ceiling not being that high before, but 4 stars feel like only Tingyun and Galagher are even bothered with nowdays, almost nobody has a reason to use any of the previous aside favoritism.
>The hype to some degree
I felt people were much more optimistic about the game before and it was pretty exciting to wait for whatever was next to come or when Penacony launched all the excitement around it
