This is going to come across as saltiness but I'm just blown away at how greedy FGO is sometimes. Like it's just designed to mug whales to an abnormal degree. Which isn't really effective on me because I won't spend money unless there is a realistic chance I'll get something I want for it. And that's really not the case here. There are so many things they could do to make it temping too. Step up gatchas. Paid only gatchas(which they do like once a year). Weighted probability.
While the argument can be made that characters in FGO are generally worth more per character than average gameplay wise. You need 5 copies to max them out and they are constantly releasing more. There is no reason for them to be this cheap. They would probably make more money if they weren't such dicks about it.

I don´t really feel 100% bad at the gacha because as you said, characters of low rarity are WAY more usefull than in other games.
Using Arash is very viable, but go and try do make something work with 3* units in Fire Emblem Heroes...
BUT
Considering you need 5 copies of the same hero, can you guys imagine how much they would make if they implemented Fire Emblem Heroes gacha system?
Which slighty increases your odds of a 5* for every full summon (so here, 30 quartz) you do? It is even banner locked (so, you wouldn´t get more % on the raikou banner if you did it in the story banner).
Even if they only increassed like 0.025% per full summon, and not on the story banner, I bet it would still net them a lot of money.
THEM AGAIN
It is the best money making ap in China, so I can´t see them chaching it soon

....just got my summon ticket of 7th day.
I still want Kotarou ( i like his design, his np, and the way he acts in the event(
Well Jammin I feel you... I had a good amount of quartz saved and even bought a small pack because I wanted Raikou. Ofc nothing, my very first roll had a gold berserker and it turned out to be Frankenstein. Then my very very last card started blinking gold too, another Berserker card... I thought "Could it possibly be??!!", but ofc it turned into Ibaraki.
Then I played some more and after using Raikou a few times I decided that she's a great unit and I want to give it one more shot, so I bought another pack for two rolls. That was actually planned for the guaranteed 5* roll but I just gave in to the urge on a spur of the moment thing... and this time it gave me Rama, but ofc no Raikou again
I felt regret over spending that money for nothing, but I told myself I at least got two new units with Rama and Ibaraki, and I had a good number of event CEs thanks to I dunno, 60 rolls plus a few tickets. Still enjoying the event and doing my stuff, but on the damage ladder I finally reached a summon ticket. I was still desperately grasping at straws to get that Raikou Ofc the ticket got me a 3* CE. The same for a second ticket later. Then I got the third one this evening, and all of a sudden rainbow orbs started glowing
And then it was a Berserker card...
AND THEN IT WAS RAIKOU OMG!
Boy that made me feel happy bc that money didn't feel wasted anymore, lady luck was on my side even though I expected nothing but utter disappointment
Now ofc I'm out of EXP cards because I obviously didn't expect her, guess it's time to use some apples
It's a good thing the other game I play like this is giving away a kings bounty this week.
1400 premium currency. (Equivalent of 100 Saint Quartz)
Free 4 Star (Equivalent of 5 Star)
Double 4 Star Gatcha Rate
Multiple banners with guarantee a 4 star drop.
Multiple paid banner guaranteeing the drop of particular 4 stars.
Can you even envision a world where FGO would do even 1 of those things? But nooo. Whatever Scrooge runs this game is having too much fun swimming around in a pool filled with Niichan's money.

I am so very happy for you. I was feeling kinda bad that I, the guy that dind´t really want her (tho she is a great unit, gameplay wise), was the only one htat got her
sooo....one thing I dind´t know...this 1 year roll is not a free roll, we need to have 30 quartz?

I mean, I don't play many of these games and they vary pretty wildly but the other game I'm talking about is Danmachi Memoria Freese. Which plays pretty similarly to FGO. Except most quests are fully voiced by the Danmachi anime actors. Many of whom are even bigger names than the Fate voice actors. So it has to be more expensive than FGO. But it's at least 1000% more generous.
The real issue is probably just that AniplexUS should just change their name to Ebenezer Scrounge Industries.

Just had a ton of deja vu because once again I used a ticket I got from the event. No gold glow but when the card started to appear so does gold lightening. Then I see it's a berserker card!!!
Then the card appears and this time it's...it's...
Yeah. I don't have mine leveled yet because her role is pretty niche but you can consider her like a 3 star version of Orion.
Post strengthening quest she's one of the best anti-male servants in the game. So if you've got one of those to take down supposedly she becomes incredibly useful because of her NP and skills. The problem with her is that is pretty much all she does.

She's considered one of the best 3 stars for that reason. Which is hilarious because she looks identical to the worst 4 star and possibly servant in the game, Stheno.

I have no idea. All my information is second hand from the various youtube people I follow. From what they have been saying Camelot is going to be very difficult. But difficult in a challenge quest kind of way.
It is a singularity and not an event though so there is no rush to beat it.
