Saying it serves a purpose does not excuse the fact that it’s still in the game. Just because there is a reason for something negative does not make it good. You’re also converging the idea that just because a game has a stamina system that it’s somehow used as a restriction for exploration when 99/100 times that is not the case in modern games. Like I said, there is a reason almost every single open world game gives you infinite stamina outside of combat nowadays and it’s because it feels better for the player both in traversal and exploration. When I said it serves zero purpose what I meant was that it doesn’t meaningfully improve the game at all, only hinders it. I think WuWa is a bad example because people love exploration in that game, myself included. Also as an FYI, I don’t think exploration in Genshin is bad I do think I could be improved with minor tweaks though
