How much have yall spent on this game so far?
I haven't spent anything yet but I'm out of wishes and trying to cop Venti, Razor, Jean and Diluc.
I have: Amber, Lisa, Barbara, Kaeya, Noelle, Fischi, Sucrose, Beidou, Xiangling, Xingqui, and Chongyun

Does any come thru after missions or storylines?
The worst shyt ever is getting duplicates and wasting wishes.

Your starting 6 right there are essentially all free (well, Noelle isn't, but she was very easy to get on her beginner banner) and at this point in time, the only free characters. Fischl isn't free currently, but is about to become so once the 1.1 patch goes live on the 11th this week. You do get to test run various other characters during story arcs tho. Razor, you could've bought outright in Paimon's shop with Starglitter or whichever one it is from getting 4 or 5* wishes like a week ago, but his time in there has passed now and now it's Bennett and...I someone else that I forget. Venti had a banner, but no longer does so...

And to answer your money spent question, I've only spent 15 bucks so far. 10 for the battle pass and 5 for the daily primogems gift for a month, which just ran off. I'll probably buy some genesis crystals eventually, but I'm still bidding my time waitin gto see what other changes the game goes through with wishes and whatnot first.

Also, while getting dupes is surface level annoying, especially when you're still not getting the peeps you want yet, dupes does have a very good significant value to them, as it ups that character's constellation, which helps level up their kit and adds to their overall playstyles in most cases pretty drastically the further along the constellation you get. Some only need 1 or 2 upgrades there to be 100% better and some others require the whole thing to be filled.

I noticed the Venti banner disappeared. Damn, it's not coming back, huh?
So I have a couple more days to try and get Jean and Diluc before the change up everything?

The game is pretty deep. I'm more of an action-RPG kinda guy (Zelda) so I'm trying to figure out how to use my characters together for the best results.
I gotta get out of that swing and dodge mode.

They're going to switch out banners every so often, about every 4-6 weeks from the looks of things. You can get almost any character from any banner, just that the rates are really low. When there's characters on a banner, their rates are considerably increased, so you'll more than likely win them during your wish pulls than others and at certain points, you're pretty much gauranteed to win someone on the banner.

Spent $55 total.

$5 twice for that monthly pack.
$15 for the Battle Pass.
Then $30 for Primogems.

Razor is going to be on a future Rate-Up banner (meaning you'll have an increased chance of getting him) in a month or so. Like @Khalil's_Black_Excellence said Fischl will be free next week. Also you'll get another Barbara which you can use on her Constellation.

I dunno if you know about "pity" or not so I'll explain. For every 10 wishes you're guaranteed a 4*. For every 90 wishes you're guaranteed a 5*. This carries over, but only on the same banner. For example, if I use 60 wishes on a character banner and 30 wishes on a weapon banner, it doesn't add together. I'd stil need 30 on the character banner, and 60 on the weapon banner. But then, it's an automatic 5*.

But even then, it's oddly not necessarily the character of the banner. I got Qiqi on the Venti banner. If that happens, the next guaranteed 5* will be the one listed on the banner. For example, the next 5* I got was Klee, on her banner.

I know you're probably looking at these numbers like "90 wishes?!" but this game ain't going nowhere breh. They're updating it around every 5 weeks. The next update is tomorrow and the one after that is right after Christmas, when they're adding a whole new area.

I know you're being sarcastic but posts like this seem like you don't even play the game.

I make 3-4 wishes a day just casually running around. You act like Primogems are hard to come by or something.

He's long since stated that he doesn't play the game, but is just lingering around to point fingers at people enjoying themselves playing it.

If you take a day off here and there and let chests refresh, you're pretty much on steady income...

Oh ok.

I don't personally get it. Dude's whole angle was "gacha is a trap, you gotta pay for everything!"

Now it's "well....you get free stuff, but it's not enough!"

It's like....ok. Go binge something on Netflix, breh.

I said a long ass time ago 90% of the issues people have with this game is due to them playing this shyt nonstop, daily. I play a few hours through out the week and everything is refreshed every single time. This model is only problematic to people that want to sit in the game 24/7. Resin hasn't been an issue for me, even once. But again, I don't play this shyt obsessively.
