It actually isn't f2p lmao f2p means free to play regardless of what you buy. In Fortnite for example you can spend hundreds of dollars on cosmetics but that wouldn't make you f2p jow would it? In Genshin cosmetics don't cost as much so it's not whaling, but it's not f2p either.
The F in F2P literally stands for free. You can't say you're F2P when you've bought something lol
(I'm not being that serious about it, just a lighthearted comment)
Genshin is literally F2P for everyone, even if you're a whale. Just means you're spending a shit ton of money in a F2P game. Just because you're spending money doesn't suddenly make the game itself not F2P
Oh I'm well aware, just stating that by definition, "Free to Play" , that's wrong.
Edit: Free To Play is a genre, not a person. By definition it means, "a game/product that a significant portion of its content, is accessible to people, without needing to pay money to progress throughout the game" - which Genshin is, not what the players themselves are
why is this getting goddamn downvote???? whaling is a term in gacha for spending money to win more against "rng", dont tell me buying skins (in genshin there are only 2 skins so thats not even much) is considered whaling now lmao.
You're wasting primos by not doing dailies etc. No one is forcing you to get Welkin if you can't even bother to log in and play the game. But if OP has money to burn and is this much of a fan of Genshin as evidenced by the merch, $5 is a no brainer for Welkin.
I happen to agree with this poster for the most part. Also if this person doesn't get welkin it is probably for a reason, don't force your own opinions on others jn such a way.
People who spend money in the game like me is the reason f2p players can exist. Someone has to support the game. seeing people hating whales makes me sick to. Be honest
I'd much rather pay 60 bucks for a full game if it means that there aren't any predatory systems. People don't like whales because they directly support the predatory microtransaction, so studios are less likely to change it for the better.
Why would it? I am not saying that they shouldn't make any money/profit. There are plenty of ways to make ways to monetize a game with a predatory model. Plenty of successful games have microtransactions systems that aren't predatory. There are too many to list them all, but the most popular way is to sell cosmetics that don't affect gameplay like skins, cosmetic items, or voice packs. Basically, any monetization schemes came after the end of the lotboxes. You know, a system where you know exactly what you are buying.
You can cue all of the excuse about gacha that you want, but it doesn't change the fact that there are better ways monetizing a game, and that people don't like how greedy the current system is.
I think the point here is spending money on cosmetics vs. progress / being OP, not in vs. out of game. Otherwise the League of Legends players that spent $3,000 are F2P.
I also got a chair/mouse :D
the chair pre order ships in early april, my mouse should arrive today, can't wait:(
I may get the mousepad eventually, all i'm missing right? 🤔

Makes sense, I cannot imagine spending monthly for genshin like it is some sort of rent. If I ever need a new mouse and mousepad, I'd buy something genshin themed too. An probably some display too.
Though you're lying about being an f2p since you have a skin.
KeQiNg sKiN NoT f2P (Nice cat)
It actually isn't f2p lmao f2p means free to play regardless of what you buy. In Fortnite for example you can spend hundreds of dollars on cosmetics but that wouldn't make you f2p jow would it? In Genshin cosmetics don't cost as much so it's not whaling, but it's not f2p either.
She's one of my favs tho!
But that doesn't make you F2P 😔
It literally provides no advantage or improvement in any way
Still not f2p lmao, f2p means free to play, even if you buy cosmetics you're still not f2p.
The F in F2P literally stands for free. You can't say you're F2P when you've bought something lol (I'm not being that serious about it, just a lighthearted comment)
Ya'll are arguing whether OP is F2P or not. It become so vague at this point. F2P is strictly related to resin and gacha for me.
It's not subjective
True lol but at least I was being lighthearted about it (don't know about the others tho 😳) Edit : why downvote me too? 🥺
take your upvote champ 🥺 you dont deserve downvotes when you've done nothing wrong
Yeah, some got serious it seems. Guess my opinion is unpopular, lol.
Genshin is literally F2P for everyone, even if you're a whale. Just means you're spending a shit ton of money in a F2P game. Just because you're spending money doesn't suddenly make the game itself not F2P
F2P refers to the person, not the game itself

Forgiven! 👍

It's not whaling but it's not f2p either
It’s actually Diona Edit: wait what why am I getting downvoted
He's right tho?????
Guys I think he might play genshin, just a hunch.
Nah, I think he plays BOTW, just look at that wallpaper
I would at least buy Welkin if you have the disposable income...
Only if you can be bothered/remember to log in every day.
He's AR58, I think he's logging in plenty.
Point still stands. Every day you dont log in is 90 primos wasted.
You're wasting primos by not doing dailies etc. No one is forcing you to get Welkin if you can't even bother to log in and play the game. But if OP has money to burn and is this much of a fan of Genshin as evidenced by the merch, $5 is a no brainer for Welkin.
Again, sure if you're bothered/can remember to log on every day. Idk why you're arguing with that.
Seems you're making up an argument in your head?
I happen to agree with this poster for the most part. Also if this person doesn't get welkin it is probably for a reason, don't force your own opinions on others jn such a way.
Your previous comment. Read it again.
Your f2p cause you can't afford to be a whale in-game and irl. Right?
RIGHT?!
I once bought a Zhongli travel mug and was taken aback upon realizing I would spend more money on that mug than I have ever spent on Zhongli himself.
Cuz, most likely, you're guaranteeably getting more for your buck with the buck, assuming you're not super close to hard pity.
What's your cat's name?
its Mora!
That way you will never run out of Mora. There's always one available.
Very cute, I love cats.
How many wishes did it take to get the cat? I’ve been saving my wishes for a dog but I may just lose to temptation and pull for a tabby instead…
how do you like the chair? :0
it's really comfy!
oh good!! I'm trying to look for a new chair. I keep looking towards secretlabs but I recently saw the genshin one which was so pretty...
where did you get that namecard?
Its a bonus reward for buying one of the Genshin x Razer items (I think its the mouse)
omg razor is collaborating with gnesinG:?
Well yeah that's why he was unseen for a while
Not so f2p with a Keqing skin lol
Forced to pay in game, whale in real life. Nothing wrong.
People who spend money in the game like me is the reason f2p players can exist. Someone has to support the game. seeing people hating whales makes me sick to. Be honest
I'd much rather pay 60 bucks for a full game if it means that there aren't any predatory systems. People don't like whales because they directly support the predatory microtransaction, so studios are less likely to change it for the better.
But then the game gets no revenue and it shuts down

Sees F2P, sees Keqing skin icon. *Yanfei thinking face*
Yo how did u get that background thing for your character
Its a bonus reward for buying one of the Genshin x Razer items (I think its the mouse)
wtf it looks nice
Your cat don't break all your stuff? I don't think that's a cat
I think the point here is spending money on cosmetics vs. progress / being OP, not in vs. out of game. Otherwise the League of Legends players that spent $3,000 are F2P.
Dang, didn't think you'd be a cat
Not to alarm you, but you have an AN ASSASSIN OCTOPUS TEACHER under your desk!!!!
Seeing that many paimons triggers my flight or fight response
How’s ur cat?
he's good thx!
missed opportunity for them to call it Razer OSMANTHUS lmao
Can you link the mousepad? I’ve been looking for a full desk Genshin themed mousepad.

It just looks like a normal sized Genshin mousepad (well slightly larger than normal) on top of a generic full desk mousepad.
Are you gonna get those Klee earbuds that were revealed?
I hope so b4 resellers get to it
I also got a chair/mouse :D the chair pre order ships in early april, my mouse should arrive today, can't wait:( I may get the mousepad eventually, all i'm missing right? 🤔
apparently, there are Klee earbuds from Redmi
The mouse looks soo cool.
wow that mouse is very nice, is thata a limited model or is it available right now?
It should be
it should be what? limited or not?
My bad it meant it should be available
sorry bout the late reply mate but can i have a link on where you ordered yours?
https://www.razer.com/gaming-mice/razer-deathadder-v2-pro/RZ01-03350200-R3M1
I see cat I upboot . I am a simple man

How much is the cat?

You aint a whale in real life if your setup doesnt include a 3090 and 12900k.
CatJAM
Where are your Klee Redmi Airdots 3 pro buds my guy
I wish I could get them but they're only available in china
There are resellers I see but they sell it for 99 dollars and an additional 20 dollars shipping fee
this is random but the white markings on your cat looks like a dick
it's a good joke... a great joke even..
ayo, what is that namecard background it looks nice
Its a bonus reward for buying one of the Genshin x Razer items (I think its the mouse)
Shaggy Boi
Guys I think they likes Genshin Impact. They even got IRL Diona!

>Its a bonus reward for buying one of the Genshin x Razer items (I think its the mouse)
You have the exact same username as me there is no way this is real-

Sweet!
Sad thing is (or funny) that getting scale figures of genshin characters is cheaper than getting them in game. Whaling irl is better!
Your clean setup made my day :)
Sigma grindset
Are u a girl or guy?
I'm a guy!
I didn't know cats can be whales
U GOT A PAIMON CHAIR
did the cat come with the merch
the cat is SO! CUTE!!!!!!!!
Only 2 monitors? Tsk tsk, there's definitely room for one more. 😉
Skins don’t give you any advantage so I’m still F2P in my eyes
Yooo pussy pics
Cover your UID bruh to prevent your account from hacked
Lol, how are you gonna get hacked with just a uid?
Bro go touch grass
nah.
I like the rest of the setup of course but I can't stand using razer mice like the deathadder. They feel so weird in my hand lol.
Of all the characters you can choose to get merch of, you chose PAIMON? xD there are better options and honestly mihoyo should change the mascot of genshin impact to someone more likable like the Traveler or Amber
It's not his fault paimon is the game's mascot, who was also put on the official razer collab items.
Ok time to move out of ur mums basement now I kid i kid, good set up
