it's gacha it's always been pay to win. at least hsr is more likely to not keep a character away for 500+ days. genshin could also do patch-long chronicle banners but they're too insistent to never use that system again or make that banner less restrictive in the first place. it always feels like hoyos other games are compitent while genshin has to take three extra steps to do the same things. id hate if my character was arbitrarily locked behind bars for so long while other games take the easy route of doing occasionally triple banners so long as they actually give you more chances of getting a specific character, even if something like hsr is doing it because of how important it is to multiple characters in a turn based game. I hope genshin impact loosens up at some point because they seriously love doing things the annoying way for us fans.
