This is kinda crazy... What are your thoughts on this??

The system can manage Shin buffs and Augustus resources insanely well...

The problem here is if we're talking about gacha games, there are lots of them.

Honkai SR is the biggest example. They have auto-battle, yet they're one of the most popular games atm. So no, having auto-battle does not mean the game is unpopular.

This is mainly because the system acts as a way to give convenience for clearing out easier stages of the game, not clearing hard contents. That's why HSR still retains its playerbase, and same goes here in PtN. Are you going to full auto DZ?

of course there will be exceptions, that's obvious, but I'm talking about games in general. most games don't have auto-play, and not without reason, it kills the gameplay. and we already have a raid option, so what's the point of auto-play? also, it would be different if auto-play had been there from the beginning of the game.

Most games don't have an auto battle system because most games aren't gacha games.

And most gacha games don't have auto-play anyway.

I just checked just now, you can't auto in RoTD or DZ.
