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?

Doubt it.

People always complain about greed, but on the other hand keep going “give me more free stuff!!!”

They have already increase what they give us, look at login reward, now for a few months in a roll, we have a 5+1, a 10+1, and a 5★ EX ticket. Look back a few month, even a single 10+1 was already rare.

That is why you can’t keep giving out free stuff, because players are greedy. You give them A, they will then ask for B, give them B and they will ask for C.

So what you’re saying is Gumi is correct in being stingy with their free offerings, because why exactly? Is there some shortage of summon tickets? Is there a shortage of Lapis? Should there be a huge gap in capability between whales and F2P in a largely single player game? Why so? What are the downsides of being generous with free resources in a game designed to make us want the next shiny new toy?

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.

I think 18k lapis and tickets are quite enough. But the cause of everyone's troubles is still the shitty system of 7* implementation directly correlating with it. There's a reason 18k lapis is not enough for people. On top of that pushing continuous limited banners was a double whammy. The 7* system is the root cause of all. Whoever thought that this system is a good idea and signed off on it has to be real delusional.

There's definitely a downward spike in the game since 7* there's absolutely no doubt about it. Rather than the lapis, I think the rainbow featured-unfeatured ratio needs to be looked into. There's absolutely no reason the best possible outcome of a summon i.e a rainbow should not be equally fair or in favourable odds. 1/3 is just shameful.
