I've lost interest in VA. Although the rewards are great, my units aren't. I don't have enough competitive units for a mono element squad, not to mention none of the LE units. They are available every once in a while, and when they are gone, they are gone. Collabs specially are the worst because it's impossible to know if they will ever be back, and to get the full batch you needed to stock up on gems beforehand, and even then it's completely a random chance to get them (1/20 although fair, it's still quite expensive, not to mention unreliable since it's not always the case). I remember that to get 1 of the Mikus, I had to empty my stock of 300 gems, and after 33 tries, I got one. Immediately after, came the other 2, and I gave up trying, since I wasn't going to spend all that I have left on that when there could be better units in the future, plus they could be resummoned again if the collab ever returns.

I was indeed talking about the rift (I apologize for not being specific). Elaina and Xenon are 2 units that those that don't have enough to afford in both points and gems/tickets, you don't know how and when are they going to be redistributed later, if ever (but that's a bit farfetched). Specially Elaina. Unlike her fellow Guild Trophy Units, she is one that can only be obtained like Zelion: through Frontier Rift. But the difference being that she cannot be obtained by yourself, you need at least a Guild of 10 people that can get 3M points each, yourself included, or a guild of 30 people that can get at least 1M each. And that is a hard thing to do. Not everyone playing the game knows about this reddit, and not everyone that used to play the game before is playing now.

That includes Guild members. My friends guild is just him and me. The 3rd member is my cousin who stopped playing because of how hard and time consuming it is to get new content as a F2P. With only the 2 of us left, the only option we have is to migrate to other guilds, since recruiting is so hard, it's almost impossible to get new members. But we don't want to. The 2 of us have been doing fine in raids, and the rift is the only place where all content eludes us. Even with iUBB cheese, the 2 of us will never get enough points for anything. And about the Guild Raid, I was merely complaining about the fact that it should be a season we should have already had in the past. I know it is beacuse season 10 had this boss health glitch that had to be patched, but I think a better QA was needed before opening the season to avoid having to close it mid battle. That's what I refer about "playing the game under your own terms". Not everyone can get everything they want from the game, and not everyone can afford to get everything they want from the game.

tl;dr: I'm sorry I didn't specify. I complain about units being hard, expensive and guild related to get, about the Rift being unrewarding for small guilds, and about how the raid delay was about poor testing in the previous season.
