It wouldn't feel quite so bad if I don't have 10 of Realgar and Azurite and 0 Malacite... And I can't do anything with the dupes, not even trade them for currency.

I go grind in OC I only ever get dupes I can't do anything with. I grind FATEs for hours and I don't get anything all. It feels broken.

Spending two hours grinding with zero progress feels openly disrespectful to me as a player and the time that I have available to play. Say what you want about Cosmic Exploration, at least I could come away from that feeling like I've progressed *something*.

I will play 'til I cap my OC level and finish the story (which I'll probably have done within a day), but after that I'm done. I'll forget that it exists and drop my sub. May or may not come back for future iterations.

They need to spend more than 5 minutes thinking how they design these things.
