I'm kind of tired of the "gacha" on the Cosmic Exploration worlds.

More rewards by 7.X should NEVER have meant stuffing the new OC/CE/DD content with 1 or 2 new items and the rest be literal old crap you'll certainly have (or can buy with pocket change on the MB) if you've played the game for more than an expansion.

That's probably it. Everything is for new players that play the game for a month or so, so that they can do the new content instead of having to do "old" content to get those rewards.

Again, I understand why the system exists, but could we at least get some form of bad‑luck protection? Something similar to what you implemented for the First Light relic rewards in Pilgrim’s Traverse?

The closest i can think of a "bad luck protection" or a pity system for cosmic fortunes (a.k.a scammingway's wheel of scams) would be the Big Bang tickets or the eventual pity rolls/guaranteed drops you get after having done enough times. Flawed but if you engage with the content long enough you will get everything there.

The drone bit archaeology gacha though is just straight up horrid. My advice to anyone would be to save the containers (the drone modules, or the sacks themselves) until they adjust the drop rate values from the feedback everyone is giving them. Since you can store them up best to wait imo.

I don't have any idea why the artifact / drone system has RNG within RNG. First it's random what chest you get (bronze/silver/gold), and then it's further random what item you even get from the chest.

For those that do remember about the bunny fates in Pyros, it used to be the same kind of soul crushing rng:

1) hope you actually get a bunny among the 100+ players doing the fate with you
2) hope you get a gold chest (extremely low rate)
3) hope you get the actual loot you're after

Needless to say, anybody that can run a binomial probability equation (there is calculators on the internet for that) will quickly see how low the rates for what you're after actually plummet. But beyond the math, even when you win, you still lose in the next rng step, that's very masochistic to play in a way.

The only thing that really annoys me is getting cordials or fireworks on Big Bang wheel spins lol if I’m not getting the super shiny minion, mount, emote or glam out of it, at least give me rare dyes or materia 12s.

Implement something that could be fun -> proceeds to put unnecessary materia as main rewards and 95% chance to just pull them. If you are lucky into 5% then you get useless glamour gear that costs 50 gil at marketboard.

How many of you did deep dungeons and you wonder "should I get this hoard from higher levels and risk dying?". You get it, you waste time only to realize that from those 3-4 gold / plat ultra rare hoards you get 3-4 materia lol.
