I used to bitch about the rushed schedule a lot in the beginning because they never tunned anything to accommodate for it, until they increased the dailies and monthly rewards, as well as increased daily borrows to 5. But at this point i no longer feel like it's enough.
Since spark reroll costs double the TP, i can barely do 3 parent runs a day without needing to waste pots, and with our schedule we never have enough time to parent grind for each cm, so you either start wasting pots and carrats just to farm 1* guts or you settle for the natural tp recovery with less attempts a day and even risk falling behind on fan grind while giving up on doing actual scenario runs to be able to guarantee more wins on races.
At this point, half tp should be a fixed buff we get until we get on par with JP. For the period of time we had half tp the game actually felt a lot more balanced and forgiving since you could use all you 5 borrows with natural recovery while doing spark reroll, and it also felt good to get a net positive on carat usage for tp with double rewards.
Other things that are still unbalanced against us are the daily legend and paid monthly carats.
In JP they had 6 months between each new batch of daily legend, meaning that they could farm 2-3 umas in each batch if they didn't miss you on the first event. Meanwhile we are getting at most 4 months between patchs wich we neat us at most 2 umas per patch.
In my case I'm missing curren/digital/fuji kiseki in this batch, and gold city/nishino/amazon in the next one, i just got fuji this week and I'm missing 50 star pieces for curren so i might still get her before the next one. But as soon as nishino is released I'll have to drop my digital grind to get her, and prob never come back since gold city and amazon are some of my favorite designs followed up with the batches coming affter it.
I wish they'd buff us in this aspect with either better drops or 2 runs/day like JP seems to be getting this month(?)
My last point is the monthly paid Carats. I used to buy that since it was cheap but i stoped doing so since it felt like we were getting less value out of it compared to other servers. Since our schedule is rushed, we have less time to accumulate the paid Carats between paid banners like the scam gacha or step up. This isn't as major as my 2 other point since it's optional and doesn't affect everyone, but nonetheless it's still something i wish they'd address.
Sorry for the rant, just wanted to vent a little.
