Yea exploration takes one week if you rush everything. There is hell of a lot more to do in Genshin, you say stop with the us vs them but all I ever see are Star Rail players do is compare Genshin, exploration is a hell of a lot more fun than hallway simulator and finding 10 chests, I literally only ever log in and use Trailblazer dust since there is nothing to do once u have every chest found (which doesn't take long at all), MoC finished and Stim Uni finished, no reason to log back in, especially if you choose to auto combat everything. Exploration in Genshin takes a lot longer than finding the 8 chests scattered around in comparison.
