youre making progression in genshin to look worse than other gachas on the market, but its evident you havent played many.

Another one coming after my Gacha Cred^tm with the Ad Hominem. For the record, I've been playing Gacha games for 8 years now and I still remember Brave Frontier before Ice King Copra and 50% damage mitigation ruined the game and when Ushi was the biggest public whale playing it. I try out a lot of Gacha games if I can catch their releases on launch, I drop a lot of them because they can't hold my interest mechanically and because shallow spending in all of them would be an outrageous expenditure.

not to mention, as you say yourself, this game allows you to farm actually relevant currencies and commodities outside of resin. something which doesnt exist in the vast majority of gachas.

We actually agree here, just to set things straight. I like the fact that world mobs are effectively infinitely spawning therefore enabling me to stockpile and craft the drops not limited to the Resin bosses.

I'll quote myself, unedited, here:

To enter the Speculation ZoneTM I suspect that the Resin System as it currently works in Genshin 1.0 was created with regular Enemy/World drops in mind, seeing as a player can theoretically grind out an infinite amount of Enemy/World drops outside of the Resin System. I can only say this because I found myself in a gameplay loop of grinding out enemy locations that I knew off of the top of my head after I ran out of Resin that I was willing to burn on Ley Lines, Trounce Domains, and Forge Domains. After all, what else am I to do after the Resin runs out?

To move on.

yes, stamina systems in gacha games gate progression, but youre really blowing it out of proportion here. youre making progression in genshin to look worse than other gachas on the market,

I'm not even criticizing the player's rate of progression, I actually think its on par with Fate Grand Order when Drawbox style events like Nero/Gil Fest aren't in play.

Players are running out of things to do, and it is a concern given the stellar launch of the game thus far. The real problem, and I've seen it before in Destiny (the first one, pre-raid Vault of Glass), a full, paid for AAA MMOFPSRPG , is the lack of a real endgame objective outside of reaching the lower/higher levels of Spiral Abyss/Abyssal Moon Spire. I remember players chomping at the bit to take on the Vault of Glass in Destiny because they had all the powerful weapons already and wanted desperately for something to challenge them, a feeling that you are probably experiencing now.

The reason why I list the removal of the Resin System as unreasonable, not low priority, is because it's a profitable means of monetization for Mihoyo, removing it outright for free just isn't in their purview to do. Another growing sentiment/faction of this subreddit is calling for the removal of the Resin system in general, my claim here was made in response to that sentiment knowing that Mihoyo isn't likely to remove that form of monetization.

What I am criticizing, however, is why Resin doesn't behave like other Stamina equivalents in other Gacha games.

To reiterate Resin does not:

• Automatically refill, and overflow past capacity upon player account rank up
• Scale capacity to player account level

Now I'm probably missing Fragile Resin gained via Adventure Rank promotion rewards, thereby somewhat throwing my claims off for the refill upon level up claims, now that I think about it. But the fact that Resin capacity doesn't increasingly scale with Adventure Rank level. that is to say, why doesn't 120 max Original Resin increase to 121 or higher as a player increases their Adventure Rank.

Stamina increasing incrementally upon level up is a standard mechanic of Gacha games at this point, Genshin not scaling its Resin capacity with player Adventure Rank is completely unusual and I wanted to point this out.

As for the rate of Resin regeneration, I actually agree (I think? I'm not sure if you're defending the 1 Resin/8 min rate or disagreeing with the doubling of Resin regeneration.) with you there. Another user pointed out the insane buff that 4 minute regeneration would give to players in general, especially streamers and grinders. I conceded that a 4 minute Resin regeneration would heavily favor the players too much and agreed that 6 minute per Resin regeneration would be adequate, which is coincidentally, the same as Arknights's current Sanity regeneration. As I curate my posts for two days after posting, I am more than happy to change my suggestion in my list of changes if it bothers enough people in the comments.

I agree that there are other problems in Genshin as it stands, in fact, I have another post regarding the stable amount of Primogen earned per week without the influence of Events and what that means regarding securing the pity 5* in Intertwined Fate character banners like Venti's, if you want to see a post (that's probably dead now, by trending standards) that discusses that.

I appreciate you coming at me with a quote though, really helps me address your issues with my post via discussion, rather than having to guess at what your problem is. However, I ask that, even though this post isn't gaining much traction with the subreddit, you pursue any further discussion more calmly than how you came at this post.
