Gacha system overly complex & predatory

Major community backlash against urgent recruitment tickets: 30 pulls grant 10 temporary pulls that don't count toward 120 guarantee. Called 'misleading,' 'confusing,' 'predatory FOMO bait.' 120 pity doesn't carry over between banners. Many players going ultra-F2P or losing interest. High engagement: 235 comments on main post.
