I think the problem is that you guys treat it like an MMO, i.e you have to log in everyday, you have to min-max etc... but personally I treat it like a single player game, once I'm done with the content now I would just stop playing until the next patch, until the next big content drop.
treat it as a single player game and I think it's one of the best game ever, there is no PVP or any kind of ranking in Genshin, I can play this game totally solo, without the need of party up with others ever and if I do, I do it only with friends who either play the game like me or respect the way I'm playing, because of that I feel no need to min-maxing whatsoever.
here is what I wrote on another thread:
"For me, I play the game like it a single player RPG (BoTW, Witcher 3..etc) and this game is one of the best game I've played for years, I have played it every day since release, nolife it for most of the weekends, and just now I managed to finish Mondstadt and start to move to Liyue, I just have an absolute blast exploring and collecting things in the game world, enjoying the story and playing sidequests, I don't care if chest doesn't contain anything amazing, most games don’t have chests or reward exploration like Genshin does, I just like getting loot for exploring.
and just like a single player RPG, When the content dries up I don't intend to play any longer until the next big content update hits, compared to BoTW, this game is already so much better, the world in BoTW is barely developed compared to the rich world of Genshin that is full of lore and books, no open world bosses. the combat in Genshin feel really good to play too, IMO the ONLY thing BOTW had over Genshin in terms of content was its incredible amount of puzzle dungeons.
so yeah, with such a great single player experience, I can't help but feel a bit irked when I see the complaints about Gacha rate and Resin, legitimate as they might be, it's not what I enjoy and not what i want Mihoyo to focus on, I hope they continue to deliver the single player experience that I love much right now."
on a side note, since I wrote that post I have played another 6 hours and I still have not reached Liyue Harbor because I got sidetracked by exploration and sidequests in the middle of going there, the game is just that good.
