Gacha in Genshin is nasty unless you are not greedy and contend playing F2P or limited 5* characters. Anyway the correct thing mihoyo done with Genshin is that in addition to make a very good game (AAA tier for free), their community is also excellent and releasing MMD models for free allows fans keep making meme out it.

> unless you are not greedy and contend playing F2P or limited 5* characters That honestly sounds reasonable to me. I don't see that deal as nasty. There's so much content, I didn't miss the extra characters at all. I actually almost completely missed the idea that there are more characters, so when I got the free extra one, I just though "oh, that's cool". It doesn't limit your gameplay unless you really want to grind and complete 100% of Genshin. (and at that point you're sinking many hours a day - maybe it's worth paying for?) It's emphatically not "pay to win".

I am fully F2P and have Keqing, Mona, Jean, Albedo, Fischl, Barbara, Xiangling, Razor, Xingqui, Beidou, Xinyan, and Noelle. I honestly don't think I'm missing much. I could use a Cryo or Pyro 5*, but it's perfectly fine. I did get somewhat lucky, but I was able to do ~130 free gacha rolls and have enough gems left for around 20 more, so it's not outside of expectations. I think it is fine. You can always lust after more characters but really, if you spend your primogems wisely, there is no real need beyond what you can get for free. I also appreciate the resin system that removes the incentive to spend too much time on the game. It limits me to 45 minutes a day which undoubtedly costs MiHoYo a lot but is appreciated. If you run the numbers, every day you can as a F2P player get enough for a 1.6-2.2% probability at a 5* character, so around 40-60% at a 5* every month. For this you have to be patient and game the pity system, though.
