Good day to you all travelers!

As of writing on the 12th October 2020, the official Genshin Impact discord is whaling about the resin system in #resin-mill. As a player, a traveler and a customer to this game I will explain in some detail the problems that persist with the current state of the games resin system. This includes the new alchemical event.

It takes 16 hours to fill the 120 resin cap. Domains & Ley Lines cost 20 resin. Events & ELITE bosses cost 40 resin. Special bosses cost 60 resin. Even if you chose to do the 20 resin events, you can only do 6 of them before running out of resin. Considering the fact that humans sleep for approximately 8 hours daily, that means the average player will only utilise 120 resin, at best in 24 hours you could squeeze in another 60 resin, but that's only 3 more events total.

There are only three ways to obtain more resin. 1. Wait. 2. Refill it with Original Resin (A finite resource). 3. Refill it with Primogems. Once all original resin is used, you only have the two options. Using Primogems is simply a way to block players from opening wishes for "free", a Primogem sink if you will. 

Let's talk about what resin is used for, why do we need so much?

Resin is used to obtain then further upgrade - Character ascension materials - Weapon ascension materials - Upgrading talents with materials - Participating in any form of event assuming you want the rewards.

What has been bugging most players is the grind once you hit around AR30. There is plenty of content in the game but nearly all of the fun stuff is locked by resin. For the two main bosses in the game that take a WEEK to respawn their loot (Stormterror & The Wolf), it's absolutely absurd that an additional 60 resin has to be used to obtain each of their loot. If a domain, or boss, or any other event of some sort has a timer - it should not have a resin requirement. If it has a resin requirement - it should not have a timer. Both combined make for a long and arduous wait that is completely unnecessary.

I hope you will take serious consideration into the changes that Genshin Impact *NEEDS* to ensure the player base remains active and loving to your game.
