From what I remember in Arknights, who I think had a similar system(?????) I doubt whales quit.


It certainly sux that there is no guarantee to max a character - that's a REAL bummer.

But if what is happening in the beta is true for the release.
Limited Banner characters will move to the 50/50 "loss" and can be pulled there again.

And I remember that you can buy limited characters in the shop of Arknights Terra, with currency from pulls, directly as well.
On top of that, limited banners in Arknights have rerunns of older characters too that fit the series if I'm not mistaken.


So basically if Genshin had a limited banner for a Liyue character, you have 3 Zhongli/Hu Ta/who knows who as the 50/50 "loss" but without the guarantee at 120 pulls.
