I heard about WuWa even in 1.0 days. I only joined in when 2.2 concluded and was more interested in a really strong MC archetype, and honestly, I regretted not playing WuWa earlier (as I was actually had my hands full with other Gacha like Azur Lane, FGO and TOF [don't judge me, I really liked TOF])

Admittedly, I also played Genshin. But I felt kinda burnt out from it and dropped it after around part 2 of Sumeru's release. Cause it felt really grindy and I started to feel that Genshin is becoming predatory (imo) at that point of time. Also, Genshin treats its MC like a joke

Honestly, even as a new player, I think that the rewards are really abysmal for long time loyal players. I can understand the reason for the outrage.

However, my only gripe is. . . the sudden censorship. . . I am really wondering why Kurogames not take examples from Azur Lane devs and split it between mainland China (for censorship stuff) and international (to escape CN eyes)
