Seriously? MiHoYo Is Just Making EVERYTHING FAR WORSE – Genshin Impact
it’s me again. This is my third video about Hoyoverse, and seriously, something needs to change. I don’t get how some people defend this game. I know my platform is not big enough, and not everyone hears my voice, but as a creator, I’ve got to speak up for the community. For all the players who aren’t happy with the rewards and the lack of endgame content. It’s for everyone’s sake, including mine. I’m kinda tired of making this content. If you’re not aware, Genshin just dropped the 4.4 rewards on their Twitter. It feels like they’re just brushing off everything that’s going on. Shoutout to Genshin’s producer, who seems to care nothing about the game. I mean, he’s rolling in millions, maybe billions, so why bother, right? It’s like they’re treating us like dirt and giving the CN community all the love. I get it, money talks, and most of it comes from the CN community. their golden goose.
But what about us? the Global players? Zip. Shush. nothing. We’re being treated like second-class players here. It’s frustrating, and I can’t wrap my head around how some of you don’t see it. New players might think the gacha thing is cool, but they haven’t tasted the goodness of other games with better rewards. To them, three wishes might sound like a lot, but we know better. Global players are all over the place. Some are new, some don’t even care, some defend the game no matter what, and some are speaking up for change. That’s why miHoYo doesn’t hear us out. I get it, some are here for the lore, but check out Honkai Star Rail. great lore and loads of rewards. Now, look at Genshin. Most of you, like 90%, missed old events, like Albedo’s. You’re missing out on how awesome those events were and how they influenced players. Honkai Star Rail does it differently. Even if you miss events for three years, you can still experience them again. Why can’t Genshin do that? It’s not just about rewards now. we need some serious quality of life changes. i’d like to see your opinion on this matter. So please, let me know. I will be reading every comment sent by everyone.
It’s confusing to see that some big content creators have changed their tune. At first, they were loud about the game’s issues, but now they’re sounding more positive, especially when reacting to the Cloud Retainers trailer. The comments show the community is split between being frustrated and excited, and some folks seem to be ignoring the ongoing problems.
This isn’t about criticizing content creators but urging for consistency and responsibility. As A creator, it’s vital to stick to our beliefs while acknowledging the need to sustain ourselves through content. but we also need to unite as a community to press miHoYo for the necessary changes that would make the game more player-friendly.
While there’s a slim hope for improvements in the upcoming updates, there’s also a small suspicion that miHoYo might choose to turn a blind eye, letting the controversy fade away with the release of new contents. It’s a strategy that aims to engage players in the excitement of fresh updates, hoping they forget the persistent issues that have been voiced by the community.
The community’s voice has power, and if we unintentionally get caught up in miHoYo’s distractions, we’re only keeping the cycle of neglect going.
We speak up for, like, three days max, and then everyone goes back to their worlds. How’s that gonna change the game? It won’t make anything better. We’re falling for miHoYo’s tactics. Look, enjoy the 4.4 new map, but don’t forget miHoYo treats us poorly. This game is fun, but it lacks listening to players. It should be common sense for a big company like miHoYo. No hard feelings, We’re still looking forward to the update and plan to keep playing Genshin Impact. Hoping miHoYo listens to player feedback for a better experience. and I’ll keep sharing Genshin news. Interested? Consider subscribing. Do you think miHoYo is being unfair? Share your opinion in the comments. Until next time!

i'm someone who never really cared about this issue. but it kept getting worse. i don't get it, like, everyone was so mas at first and stuff but then hoyo just ignored the players' feedback, follow botted their lost followers back, and here is when i started to get pissed: a lot of bivger creators started ignoring the issue too, when they used to be so vocal about it, then hoyo started taking down comments and videos from small creators who are criticizing them? the hell? it's just bs at this point. not just unreasonable.
CCs are the loudest voices of the genshin community and they just ignored it when they used to be so vocal about it. how hypocritical. i get that they need to make vids and all, but that doesn't mean they should just outright ignore the issues!
lemme tell you why they dont care, majority or players are normie casual who never even look at th drama and discussion about the game, they only play the game 1 – 3 hours and busy with work but still spending on the game. while the one protesting are minority. review bomb might works to some extent but this time ppl are not united in one mind so its easy for them to just not care about this matter
Problem i have with genshin is not rewards (I'm f2p) it's the fact that even if they give tomorrow 100 5* character selectors, i will not come back play game because there is nothing to do in this game with those characters played for 2.5 years and glad i quit. Hope all of u who still play, enjoy artifact chores because it's 60% of gameplay after u finish msq.
Everyone compares the rewards from star rail to genshin but star rails game play is so boring i just gave up on it the rewards do nothing for me cuz the game play is still the same routine atleast hoyos steping up the game play with genshin.
to all of you whiteknights nooobbs out there get lost, you don't have any idea about this and just shut up, you are not needed in the community
Keep copium
okay about old events, the storage is gonna be explode but it just gonna be one time download, about QoL like really… we can have QoL update from V 1.1 – 2.0, about rewards it's just disgusting they literally win 2 years ago… with our power we take down sonic bullshit, the same nomination star rail achieved why the rewards are so little
i seriously need to say this, this producer which have 40% of the company is a big as*hole, and he needs to go away from genshin, why ??… because this game is they're no.1 selling point… why don't make it better ? it's not gonna hurt the company to giveout a free 5★ selector ? it's not gonna hurt the company to make the gacha selection so we don't have to wait for a f*cking year to get the character we want
big creator doesn't care about mihoyo issues, they're just people who jumps into the latest trend in genshin, and that latest trend was coincidentally the reward issue, they're just farming views, they don't care at all about the game, because even if genshin were to be shut down they will simply move to another game and do it all over again, they have no attachment to the game they're playing. They're doing it because they need to make a living after all.
i personally understand why some genshin players are upset but i also feel like we shouldn't attack the players who are grateful we see things differently so i expect genshin players to not going around attacking everyone.
Whoever defends stupidity and selfishness are beyond retarded. Speaking out about this issue is just fair and enough already.
Personally, I also think it’s unfair especially that CN gets the skin selector when we get THREE extra fates. But I might quit genshin and move to star rail, since I play both. But I’ll still claim all rewards.
Giving us even 10 wishes won't cost them anything at all. They get millions while we get 3 frickin' intertwined fates.
All them CCs spoke on the drama just for the sake of some of their viewers(otherwise y'know what's coming for them) and then just left it at that, done , they did their part, they spoke about the drama and gave their opinion(now some of those frustrated viewers won't be able to condemn them for not voicing out for them) and now they're back to their usual self,,, making guides, doing reaction videos, pulling for characters etc. I don't think all of them CCs even give a damn about it, like do y'all really think they're angry regarding the 3 intertwined fates for 3 years? All of them mfs can C6 R5 any characters they want with the money they get from making contents, sponsorship and with ad revenue, so rewards aren't really a problem for them unlike for some of us. About the endgame, be there or not, they are all consistent with their videos and everyone of us are still watching them, they're still getting views…their content creation career is not over, they're still earning and will keep on earning. Now where does that leave us players at?😅
It's not that people don't care , but more so that we know Global voices do not matter to hoyo, so you have two options leave or stay and just enjoy the game .
i stopped spending money on this game since sumeru, the game has no fun end game we get less and less primo with each patch.
the game getting pay 2 win with 5*/4* locked behind cons to be playable, no good QOL, event are bad and boring, even i start losing interest with main story with so much useless dialogue and no skip button, i playing this game rn casually till wuthering waves release then i will delete it and will never touch any hoyo's game again
Why would they respect a community of loosers who use the game as a form of escapism if the players dont respect themself and their time. All these videos of people complaing perfectly summarize whats wrong with this community. If you cant change the game then start changing yourself. If you respect yourself and your time, you will just walk away from a game which treats you and your time badly instead of complaning to people who clearly wont listen. Be better people.
You are not getting played, you are playing yourself.
they wont coz most of the big ccs like atsu, dish etc are defending the game and targeting tectone who is the only one who is trying to change the game even tho he himself isnt playing.
I love the game, But This is the time to close my wallet on them, I better go support other gacha that cared for it's community.
I treat all gacha games as equal, include genshin. but I treat their devs differently.
i wish there were better rewards, i really like this game and ive never been to happy to join a community before, everything i speak about is genshin related which goes to show how much i love the game and its just a shame that im just finding out the rewards are bad (as in past events), im not sure of how long this has been up for since ive only started in 3.8 but i hope the game gets better rewards for everybody sake. though i will probably still spend money on yae mikos banner i know that others probably wont because of all this drama, somehow i feel like i know more about business than the producer. just listen to the people and if their request is reasonable enough then do it. they could make so much more and cause way less drama by listening to us and adding things that only takes a tiny bit of coding or whatever to do, small resin cap? just fix it again. i usually dont care about rewards but like dude…3 pulls? im starting to realize how insane that sounds now that im taking a moment out of my genshin comfort zone, i wouldnt say im a stan because i know about all the bad things and i wouldnt defend the game if something bad happened but i would probably play the game no matter what, alot of players are like me who really love the game and wish to see more yet apparenty the producer doesnt know how to make money properly because dude if they added the zhongli skin or gave more rewards they could make way more money…
I agree with you, hoyo is very unfair with what it's doing. It's not like they don't listen they respond to us super slow.
Like it took them 3 years to add voice over to banner splash art, unique background scenery to party set up, characters with some animation when they are selected, 4 star characters with better kits and 4 star DPS should be proficient etc.
They respond to us so slow that when they release such updates the community passion about it by then has died down. And imo that is not how a game should respond, they should provide stuff that are asked on the moment on few patches later not few years later.
What they gonna do when genshin gets too old ? Give out free 5 star character which we are dying for them to give us?
It's like hoyo uses our needs at their most desperate moments to get us back in game and that is ethically and psychologically insulting 😢
I have been playing for 2 and half years and missed out big time and on top of that got my account hacked and didn't get it back after giving the proofs of my account. So now I started playing from version 3.7 so yes I don't have the event wishes nor event 4star skin's nothing this is major demerits
I say this producer get's fired already
Have they not responded in the slightest? They responded when it was the anniversary, why aren’t they issuing a statement for the people upset it’s very weird to do that
I hope WuWa does so well that Genshin is forced to appreciate what they had because right now they have no one to take away their players but I’m rooting for WuWa and that’s from someone who loves and plays Genshin I actually have excitement for WuWa but I can’t even be bothered to explore the new area, I feel no excitement for Genshin right now
I agree with Bimow on one think, there will never be change if we cant unite under one leader.
They realy know how to manipulate twatter and change the view.
The thing is that the game is much more fun than Honkai for me but the fact that Honkai gets more love than Genshin, which is the game that actually made Mihoyo rich. HSR gets 10 free golden tickets every patch while I have not yet seen Genshin even coming close to that. There are also other factors that make playing HSR a better experience than Genshin which is truly heartbreaking. I play HSR casually but saving for banners is still much less of hassel than it is in Genshin. I play Genshin because I love the game but Mihoyo needs to treat Genshin players better because now it is becoming a huge turnoff as I think that the community that made the company rich should not be treated like pile of dirt. The producer needs to be booted to be honest but Mihoyo is just covering up their mess instead of addressing it. There is so much I want to say but in the end if it is not heard then what is the point? I hope the Genshin Global community is treated fairly for once.
Im offended that they only care about the CN community because Im from China hong Kong, but i chose America server, So i feel like they Also leave the players out Who arent from china server
I support you guys by sending complains and memes to the costumer service everyday, damn cs must have been tired reading my feedbacks.
Most of Genshin’s player base probably did not play other Gacha games, they have none to compare it to. Or at least notice the stinginess. I’m a gamer my whole life and I can tell you, this game is one of the most stingy games out there, lucky for them they were the first open world anime game that had a very good smoothing engine 😂 and lore, so people don’t “care” about their stinginess
Yes but also these Chinese duped us. Cloud Retainer is the highest day1 sales till now in Chinese server
I swear I was playing genshin since 1.4 or 1.7 till dendro came out and recently started again but seeing how shit HASNT EVEN BARELY CHANGED and hoyo decides to do nothing about it, I deleted it again. Maybe I'll download it again when hoyo does something or comepletely shift to WW. every friend I know agrees that there is something seriously wrong with the game.
The main problem is that Genshin knows us better than we know ourselves; therefore, they can easily bribe most of us. 😭😭
“… Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses.”
– Decimus Junius Juvenalis, Satire 10.77-81
My two cents on the widely debated topics as someone who has played both Genshin and HSR since release:
1) Endgame Content
I agree that more endgame content is desperately needed. I won't be unreasonable and ask for the scale of HSR that releases new endgame content every so often. But Spiral Abyss & TCG are not enough. Spiral Abyss is either too difficult and frustrating for some players or too easy for others, while the TCG is not everyone's cup of tea.
Of course, as an Open World Game Genshin focuses more on exploration than HSR, the latter being more dependent on its endgame content to keep players engaged until new Archon/Trailblaze Quests are released.
But as I mentioned earlier, there needs to be content that casual players who neither whale nor spend copious amounts farming materials and artifacts to optimize their characters can enjoy. Personally, I'd enjoy something similar to the Simulated Universe in HSR, but that might be a bit too ambitious to ask for.
2) Rewards
I understand the Genshin Fandom's outrage at seeing HSR be much more generous than Genshin. Especially in regards to Anniversary and Lantern Rite (Chinese New Year). However, we have to stay reasonable with our demands too, keeping in mind Hoyoverse's profit-oriented mindset in Genshin. Thus, I will break down my thoughts on different kinds of demanded or possible rewards.
2.1) 10 Free Pulls (per version)
As things are currently in Genshin we will not get the generous 10 free pulls per version that HSR gets simply because of the fact that you can bruteforce almost any available content in Genshin (excluding Floor 11 and 12 of the Spiral Abyss) with pretty much any more or less reasonable team comp.
In HSR on the other hand there are so many different gameplay modes for endgame content that having a wide range of different characters is crucial. Especially since there is not just the element system like in Genshin but also the path system, making characters uniquely suited for different types of content. Thus, there is more incentive to pull for different characters in HSR than there is in Genshin.
A possible solution for this would be to introduce endgame content to Genshin that necessitates different elemental reactions, forcing players to have more diverse team comps. However, this would be stepping on the feet of those players who rather focus their efforts and resources on only a few characters instead of collecting them.
Thus, I would say it is a rather unreasonable demand and will not happen, unless Genshin decides to completely overhaul the way the game works (which I doubt they will).
2.2) Free 4* Skin Selector
It is absolutely baffling how Hoyoverse thought that a PS5 bundle that is also only available in China was a good idea. And that for a multitude of reasons. Many of those who want a PS5 (and have the money to buy one) probably already have one.
Only a minority will profit from actually having planned to buy a PS5 and getting the 4* Skin Selector as the cherry on top. However, the promise of getting the 4* Skin Selector alone will not convince anyone to go out of their way to buy a PS5, since getting any of the 4* Skins (and even Diluc's 5* Skin) is much, much cheaper. In fact, buying all the skins (even when assuming one doesn't have the initial top-up bonus anymore) would still be not much more than half the price of a PS5.
Personally, I think a 4* Skin Selector is a bit too much to ask for, knowing how profit-oriented Hoyoverse is when it comes to Genshin. However, I'd see a possible compromise in a 4* Skin Selector for the skins of 4* characters that were given away for free during events. And perhaps 10x Intertwined Fates for those who already have all of the event 4* skins.
2.3) Free Limited 5* character: Dr. Ratio vs. Aloy
There has been outrage in the Genshin community about HSR getting the limited 5* character Dr. Ratio, who is actually quite the meta character, especially when it comes to single target. Meanwhile, Genshin has Aloy, a character that is only played by a minority, does not even have any Constellations and is overall rather disappointing.
However, Aloy was given out because of a collaboration between Genshin and Horizon Zero Dawn, whereas Dr. Ratio was a reward for HSR winning three awards consecutively after being released for less than a year. The two of them cannot be compared.
That does not mean I defend Hoyoverse however. Genshin Impact has won quite a few awards since its release in 2020. Yet no 5* has been issued as a reward, only getting primogems for at most perhaps a 10 pull.
Of course, again I would like to point out the difference between Genshin's and HSR's core gameplay. HSR demands a bigger variety of characters, giving away one good 5* character will not hurt their revenue in any meaningful way, because other 5* are needed for different endgame content. Genshin on the other hand has little varied content, the monsters in the overworld are a joke and you can pretty much bruteforce your way through most bosses (again, excluding Spiral Abyss Floor 11 and 12). A 5* character simply has more value for Hoyoverse in Genshin than in HSR.
Is that enough reason to not give out a limited 5* in Genshin as a reward for winning multiple prizes in the past? Perhaps not. But I highly doubt any amount of outrage from the players will change Hoyoverse's mind on this.
2.4) Free Standard Banner 5*
Now, this would be a reasonable demand for either the Anniversary or the Lantern Rite Festival (Chinese New Year). Getting a free standard banner character will not hurt Hoyoverse's revenue too much, since none of them are really Meta.
Diluc and Jean might have become viable once more because of Xianyun's and Furina's respective release, and Tighnari is a decent choice for those who have neither Nahida nor Alhaitham. But overall, limited characters will be chosen over standard banner characters in most cases.
All in all, it would be a rather reasonable compromise between what player want and what Hoyoverse refuses to deliver. Of course, for those who already have all standard banner characters C6, it would be only fair to issue 10x Intertwined Fates instead.
3) Celebration Rewards
Now, my thoughts in regards to the underwhelming rewards issued for Lantern Rite (Chinese New Year) and the Anniversary.
3.1) Lantern Rite (Chinese New Year)
The Lantern Rite is an important event, because it celebrates the Chinese New Year. It is based upon this important cultural real-life event and thus a matter of pride to the Chinese Genshin Community.
This new year is especially interesting however, because it is the Year of the Dragon, and Liyue just so happens to be ruled by a dragon-inspired Archon (aka Morax/Rex Lapis/Zhongli). One would think that taking this into account, the rewards would be better than in previous years. Instead, there has been a great controversy in the Chinese Genshin Community about the phrasing of the 3x Intertwined Fates that will be distributed in the mail as thanks for (still) playing the game.
At the moment, we get 10x Intertwined Fates from the Login Event, 3x Intertwined Fates distributed through the in-game mail and a certain amount of primogems from different events as part of the Lantern Rite Festival. It is not exactly a bad haul when compared to normal Genshin patches, but neither is it anything to speak of in the greater scheme of things. For a celebration of this magnitude and importance in China, it is rather underwhelming.
As I elaborated above, asking for a 4* Skin Selector or a limited 5* character is unreasonable with Hoyoverse tendency to be profit-oriented rather than giving importance to keeping the players content and happy. However, a 4* skin selector of previously freely given event 4* skins OR a standard banner 5* character would be a reasonable compromise in my opinion.
3.2) Anniversary
For the Anniversary, the situation is fairly similar to the Lantern Rite situation. The players feel that the rewards given out are too underwhelming (especially when the Anniversary Bundle has to be bought) and Hoyoverse refuses to be any more generous. And again, the players demands for rewards are unreasonable in comparison to Hoyoverse's profit-oriented mindset in regards to Genshin. And again, a compromise is likely the best we can hope for in the future.
For the Anniversary, we get 10x Intertwined Fates from the login event, 10x Intertwined Fates distributed in the in-game mail (which funnily enough is already more than we get for Lantern Rite), an Anniversary Bundle that has to be bought, and a Shop Reset (which only those profit from that spend money in Genshin).
For an Anniversary, that is rather lackluster. 20 pulls are 18% of the pulls for a random guaranteed 5* character, and 9% for a guaranteed limited 5* character. It amounts to getting two guaranteed 4* characters.
And I fear the situation will only escalate further once we reach HSR's Anniversary. Because from what we've seen so far, they are likely going to be far more generous than Genshin will ever be.
Quitted Genshin 2 Days Ago
Sorry I’m just confused what did Genshin do? Are ppl not happy with 3 intertwined fates for wishes? I’ve started playing a year ago so idrk what’s going on..
The fact they didn't even hesitate 💀
The protest going to be more long now
It will be strange but they going to use this topic to get more new players to their game if all content creators talk about it more frequently. Yeah, you need to show your and community's concerns but that will pump game's popularity sadly. I say this because as it seems they don't care about community, active players and active creators are feeding them passively. Chinese side showed their community's strength with review bombs and other things but globals I think we have to suffer if we continue same.
I think it's high time people stop spending on genshin to make mihoyo listen and bombard them with bad reviews
Its just the three fates everything is good cause I got ganyu skin!
Chiori Puppet Reveal Damage https://youtu.be/nALVNvfhEgk
See the thing for me is that I wld have been fine if the features i wanted weren't in game. If the rewards suck, yeah thats just shit but i wldnt rage over it. HOWEVER, Its INFURIATING to know that 90% of the feedback we give ALL goes to ANOTHER GAME by the SAME COMPANY, Honkai Star Rail, on top of already SUPER GENEROUS REWARDS. Its just like rubbing salt in the wound and then spitting on our faces in the dirt.
Yea us f2p players should just stand up and start review bombing other players are boycotting, the CN players are unfollowing, us f2p players should be review bombing
It's just a shame how hoyo is treating hsr players a lot better, even if the game hasn't been out for one fkn year…. I simply can't believe that all the genshin players are being treated like this…. Even as a non player, I'm always updated with the events, so it's extremely heart-wrenching to see the amount of dirt we're being fed on for all the blood sweat and tears we shed on to the game 😢😢
Istg Genshin would be the best game in the world if it was managed by the same people in charge of HI3rd,HSR and ZZZ like how is Genshin Hoyo’s biggest money maker but is also their laziest game BY FAR when it comes to character/NPC models, animations (arguably also designs) and cutscenes ☠️
Like Genshin is one of the most popular games in the world right now and makes billions, but somehow has lazier animations than many indie games bruh
Like as a Genshin fan for 3years now i would legit consider quitting Genshin for another one of Hoyoverse’s games if HSR’s combat wasn’t so boring to me and HI3rd didn’t overwhelm me xD
(Also HI3rd and ZZZ combat although cool is still not as interesting as Genshin’s for me)
Like seriously Genshin has good combat, amazing Lore, quests and music but the animations and lack of cutscenes (not to mention that the quality of most of Genshin’s cutscenes pales in comparison to HI3rd, HSR and ESPECIALLY ZZZ) are so bad it’s depressing.
Not to mention HI3rd and HSR also treats their players better…
Its actually insane when think about the fact that they spent money they didnt have to spend on account bots to keep their follower count up on different platforms whereas it costs no money to give your players better rewards and better updates
I still dont see the issue to be honest i just like the primo count going up slowly over days been playing genshin for two years. Cloud retainer is meant for xiao so dont pull unless you have xiao or like cloud retianer ill never see the problem maybe because i never had problems like whatever everyone arguing about 3 fates has akways been the event prize if you dont like it why not just get a job or save over time you literally get around 60 fates each phase well i do
They are just silencing those who speak up and being so unresponsive towards the players feedback. It's frustrating that they can't even acknowledge their player like HSR does
Honestly if this happens next year again i swear i'll legit just pass away
