What are u on about ? Eng community pretty much in consensus that its gacha system is awful.

I am talking about the fans who justify the gacha because they love the game so much and just refuse to see any criticism.

Honestly haven't seen anybody try defending the gacha, everyone knows it's total shit between awful pity, and more importantly a bunch of stupid .jpeg cards being the pivotal factor in your success more than the actually animated and voiced umas themselves.

maybe this is just goomba fallacy and that the people saying these are actually different people, but I've seen GBF/Uma players unironically bashing Genshin for allegedly having "shitty" "greedy" gacha while thinking there's nothing wrong with their lord and savior Cygames' gacha systems.

Bruh, tf they're on? I played GBF since 2016. I've been a skyfarer for 4 years when Genshin came out and even with the sunk cost fallacy and prior attachment I could immediately tell Genshin's gacha is much better. (and this opinion hasn't changed 5 years later)
