Haters don't math very good
The above picture is getting around as another way to make fun of MiHoYo for the anniversary rewards. Let's analyze this for a sec.
How to get this: Don't play for 2 weeks. (14 days)
What you get: 500 Primogems
5 Fragile Resin (60 resin ea = 300 Resin)
Where the maths come in handy:
Let's calculate what you'd get just playing those 14 days.
60 primogems (dailies) x 14 days = 840 primogems
180 daily resin x 14 days = 2520 resin
500 > 840 ?
300 > 2520 ?
And I could go on. For example you get 29 Hero's Wit & 63 Adventurer's Experience for missing 2 weeks. At my AR45 (low ball estimate for effect) I get a minimum of 3 Hero's Wit and 6 Adventurer's Experience per Blossom
29/3 + 63/6 = 11 Leyline Blossoms
Every week you're supposed to do 20 Leyline Blossoms for the Battle Pass. Do only the blue ones for just 1 out of those 2 weeks and you'd have at least 60 Hero's Wit & 120 Adventurer's Experience.
And let's not forget that we have events each week. The average event gives 420 primogems on top of things like Hero's Wit, Mystic Enhancement Ore and Mora.
2 weeks at 420 primogems each week = 840
2 weeks of daily primogems already mentioned = 840
Total = 1680 primogems
1680 vs 500
And then remember that missing 2 weeks also means skipping the weekly bosses twice, not farming at all for all kinds of mats for your characters and being 2 weeks behind on BP which you might need to spend primogems to make up for. Also also Serenitea Pot. Transient Resin each week. So 300 resin from the Fragiles just dropped by another 120 and you can buy other stuff like 20 Hero's Wit per week.
So guys please don't listen to haters. MiHoYo messed up big with these rewards. That's not a shock. I've said many times they are terrible at PR. But that's no reason to lose our brains over it. I think we might want to all take a step back and remember why we even started playing Genshin. Was it because we were waiting on rewards to come a year into playing it? Probably not.
Let's figure that out so we can calm ourselves down. Then we can start looking at most other good gacha games and see that MiHoYo made this dumb move because that's what the other 1 year anniversaries looked like and they thought it made sense for Genshin like a bunch of dumb dumbs. Because we know that they are dumb dumbs they need us to hold their hand and guide them to what acceptable rewards would look like. BUT keep in mind that isn't the same as screaming "free stuff!" at them. Demanding things like free 5*s doesn't make sense. Others have already calculated that that would cost MiHoYo hundreds of millions. (It's like asking Apple to give out free iPhones.) I'm talking actual thought out suggestions like my suggestion for skins which seems to have been taken to some effect by the devs. Did you guys notice the new reward?
Ok hope this is the last time I have to address this subject.
