Add older Genshin characters to the standard banner


Add older Genshin characters to the standard banner
The Issue
Several characters in Genshin Impact have experienced long gaps between their reruns, which has led to frustration among players. Some of these beloved characters, such as Eula, Ganyu, and Yoimiya, are being repeatedly placed on the chronicled wish banner. Although this banner is supposed to be an opportunity for players to obtain characters they may have missed, its design makes acquiring these characters unnecessarily difficult. It's similar to the weapon banner, which can be notoriously challenging, offering a lower probability of summoning specific characters.
Take the case of Ganyu: there was a point where she hadn't had a rerun in 23 patches! When she finally did reappear, it was only on the chronicled banner. Many players have come to call this the 'graveyard of bad characters', partly due to the sheer improbability of obtaining specific characters from it.
The solution here seems simple and beneficial for everyone involved. By including these older and outdated characters on the standard banner, players would have a fairer chance of summoning them. This would also alleviate the pressure of waiting for reruns and combat the frustration of the community as they hope and wait for their favorite characters to return. Moreover, this approach would provide a more enjoyable experience, allowing players to build teams with characters they genuinely love, rather than being at the mercy of infrequent rerun schedules or the whims of the chronicled banner.
Everyone who enjoys Genshin Impact can benefit from a more balanced and player-centered gacha experience. Sign this petition if you agree that older characters should have a permanent spot on the standard banner, ensuring everyone can enjoy the game to its fullest potential. It's time to make Genshin Impact even more enjoyable for its dedicated player base.
