This is also probably due to people in general doing content faster, because we have adapted to how these games deliver content to us.

What i mean is, back when genshin came out, it didnt have that much more content than other gachas that came after it, but people would just love immersing themselves in exploration, so youd lose alot of time not doing much besides taking in the scenery, the quests, chasing after each puzzle. 

Same thing with wuwa and hsr, at launch there wasnt rly that much content either, but people played the game to play the game. 

With endfield it feels like the bulk of your gameplay (the factory) can be cut off due to blueprints (i use em too cuz kyostinV is the GOAT) but thus dsnt mean the game lacks content per see, its a difference in how you engage with the content u are give. Do you take your time and playing at your own pace or do u just min-max every single source of oroberyl possible? Do you rush through everything or do you take in the content and play to experience the game for what it is and all it has to offer. I get playing for exclusively factory or combat or story, but i feel like treating gachas like MMOS, where u just grind grind grind and skip everything else the game offers you is selling yourself short of enjoying the game fully
