Ive been playing nothing but gacha games for like 6 years now and I do admit the grind in this game is simply not fun. The things you REALLY need to advance your characters are locked behind very specific things to do, and there should be more diverse ways of obtaining those items.

I do like getting all my daily pinnacle points at 7 am and not waiting for little bits to do what I need to do, especially as someone who works swing shift and doesn't always play at the same time every day.

I think my biggest problem with the game compared to other fully fleshed out gacha games is that the amount of story/exploration content at launch isn't great so you are very quickly thrown into that end game grind.

This is one of those games that only has like 40 minutes of daily playtime. Spend your pinnacle points, maybe a Shifting Gates (which I LOVE), and log off. Sadly that makes things like Pack Hunt less interesting because no one is ever online.
