Still doesn't change the fact that the games are negatively impacted by gacha mechanics. The grind is usually ramped up to an almost unbearable amount compared to a non-gacha game, and this is an intentional design decision to influence people to spend money. Gacha games are also predatory due to FOMO and you can spend weeks grinding and still not get the character you want because of the gambling nature of the game. This is also intentional to try to get people to spend money. The games are made worse by the predatory mechanics.

They arent, though. They are usually just a part of the game. And kind of make it fun. Like when you get really good characters. The fun is getting new characters and trying them out. Like when I was playing a few of them with friends and we all had a bunch of different characters. Which meant we all had to play different. It was kind of fun just learning how to use each character. You may not like gacha mechanics, but some people are fine with them. It made the game more fun for me and some others. And some, like you, dont like them. That just means the game arent for you... The grind depends on the game. One game, I can max out a characters level as soon as I get them. And sometimes, I can max the skill tree out (or close enough). It can take longer for other things like weapons, though. But the grind depends on which game it is. As for FOMO, that depends, too. I havent really seen much of it here when talking on the gacha game board, or on CE... Many people know that a lot of the characters end up coming back with the exception of a few. And not everyone is going to get the character. Sometimes, you just have to get lucky. But many games have nearly everyone come back at some point. Even when they werent planning on it... That being said, many games also have pity rates. Some rates are higher than others, and work differently than others, but many have them. Like with Dragalia Lost, every time you dont get a 5 (Star) character, you rate to get one goes up. Many also have a guaranteed chance when you do a certain number of pulls... Many will say to just do well in the event. Or just to play it at all... And again, it can make some spend money, buy not all will. Many are easily played and won without money. Some make it so that even spending money wont really get you very far, anyway. Or make it so you dont want to spend money...
