@Cortinarius_Arc I think the real problem about this whole fiasco is the way they handle the situation and it cannot be any worse than that.
I made a post about this matter and pinpoint the problem that we can all tackle on:

The current Blue Archive controversy is not simply about whether the new gacha system has better or worse expected value.
The real issue is that a long-standing selectable pity system and persistent progress were changed without sufficient advance notice, a clear old-versus-new comparison, or a proper transition period. After the backlash began, the core concerns still remained unanswered while normal promotional activity continued.
Major monetization changes in live-service games should require:
• Clear advance notice
• A direct comparison between the old and new systems
• Full disclosure of disadvantages, reset conditions, and maximum possible cost
• Protection of accumulated progress
• Fair transition measures for existing players
We are not asking for extra compensation or more free pulls as a substitute for an explanation.
We are asking the official Blue Archive team to clearly address:
• Why the selectable pity system was removed
• Why pity progress resets when a pickup character is obtained
• Which cases are worse under the new system
• Why such a major change was announced so shortly before implementation
• Whether the system is being reconsidered, and when players can expect a formal response
This is no longer just a dispute over one game’s gacha system. It is a broader issue of transparency, consumer protection, and accountability in live-service monetization.

@PlanatonicplapA Honestly, I don't think that's a good idea, cause now just the gacha system is not gonna be enough at this point:
