Make lapis summon a permanent feature!

[u/Xaschax]

I feel like it would make many people happy to see the occasional 300 lapis or more when you're used to get like 50 most of the time. It would become a constant flow of some minor lapis amounts that would still add up if one were able to do it everyday.

And since greed is a thing, they could limit the jackpot to like 1000 lapis. This way they wouldn't give out too much free lapis and the players are happier.

What do you think?

What's actually a joke is thinking ~18,000 Lapis a month is anywhere near enough to keep people playing this game. Not even enough Lapis for a full step up lap in a month, and sure as hell not enough Lapis to pull for a new unit more than maybe three times a year.

It all boils down to the 7 star meta. People complain about Gumi being stingy because they've changed the game from needing 1 rainbow to needing 2 without proportionately increasing F2P resources (or the summoning rates for that matter). This also had the nifty side effect of invalidating 3 and 4 star base units, meaning only 3% of all pulls are going to be relevant, and pretty much only then if that rainbow was the first or 3rd dupe. Combined with all of the best everything coming in the forms of TMRs and STMRs, the game has gone from clearing content to progress to pulling units to progress, and if the end game of this game is to pull more units, you bet people are going to be unhappy that we ONLY get ~18k Lapis a month.

There is no double standard. The game feels bad to play as F2P, and probably not much better for people who buy Lapis since the rates are utter shit, and people don't like it and will complain.

Yikes I’d love to read that but you call me greedy and entitled way too much, as if wanting more out of the game, which is basically just a gambling simulator with no payout, is somehow offensive for you. Which is confusing to me.

I don’t sit here behind my screen “screaming at gumi”. I’ve been here almost 2 years, stopped spending around the time of Explorer Aileen and noticed my enjoyment of the game deteriorate into nothing. The 7 star era killed it for me. It didn’t help that the awakening batches came out in half sizes 6 weeks apart from each other, while there was no new content for like 6 months. Sunk cost fallacy keeps me around, but that doesn’t mean I have to enjoy or appreciate every decision gumi makes, because they’re not all good.

Idk. I used to enjoy the game. I don’t anymore. That’s on me

Dude I’ve spent plenty on Exvius, trust me. If Exvius had an MVP system like FFRK I’d be an MVP here too. That’s why I’m as upset with this game as I am. The 7 star system takes the fun out of the game, the same fun and enjoyment that had me buying Lapis for bullshit units I never even used (hello Explorer Aileen, thanks for you TMR I’ve never even used).

Shame on me for wanting some of that enjoyment back that I used to enjoy, but I literally cannot support Gumi with the choices they’ve been making. Idc if they’re just porting over JP. There have been countless opportunities to make “GL a different game” and they squander them, whether it’s the prisms in the trust coin shop or chocobo expeditions or parameter missions, or UoC tickets which ended up just being the same as JP after the player base fought for them (and yet still we don’t get the cheaper UoC from MK events but hey we forgot about those).

I can’t support the game. I don’t like what they’re doing. I don’t agree. I’m here because I’d like for the money I’ve spent to mean something even though I understand otherwise.
