I’m no longer F2P!!

I have a job now.

I still remember bashing anyone who payed for stuff on this game, alas when I tasted even a little bit of power had I been corrupted.

You are an adult you spend how you want

Just keep enough to live decently

Try to avoid getting divorced for a C6. 😝

beautheschmo2026-01-28 22:36

Or at least hold out until genshin adds purchasable wedding rings like some other gachas have

My ass read that as the Corvette first

Can your wife clear Stygian in 30 seconds? I think the choice is obvious.

It's very common for the loudest activists/ virtue signalers to be the biggest hipocrites.

floricel_1122026-01-28 22:02

You traitor!!!

On a serious note though, you do you. For my self tho, I can't personally justify spending real money on digital stuff that you can't physically touch or own, for a live game that won't be around forever

ImNotTiredOfWinning2026-01-28 22:14

Have you ever bought any other video game in your life, whether it be a physical copy or digital? Is this your first game ever?

crazispaghetti2026-01-28 23:06

I see where they're coming from and this isn't exactly the same as buying regular video games.

The idea (at least what I've interpreted from their comment) is that once Genshin reaches EOS, there's a chance that access to the game will be cut off for everyone. This is quite common for gacha games (typically on mobile, from my experience) that have reached EOS. Some will create offline versions or other ways to preserve the game so players can still continue playing, but there is no guarantee that Genshin will (at least none that I have heard of).

It's not the same as other games that you can access whenever you want after you've purchased it once.

drflexer2026-01-28 22:53

By that logic I hope you also don’t pay for any streaming subscription services. Otherwise that’s just hypocritical.

floricel_1122026-01-29 04:07

As it happens, I don't

SanicHegehag2026-01-28 22:04

1 - Don't go crazy.

2 - Use something like [Lootbar](https://lootbar.gg/a/Dlg90C) or LDshop if you are going to spend responsibly. It's a good savings, and can help you squeeze a little more.

3 - Welkins, Battlepasses, and Double Top-ups are pretty reasonable spends. Be careful when buying anything beyond the initial topup, and don't ever do a Resin Refresh unless you're just flush with disposable income.

Kingpimpy2026-01-28 22:57

gz on a coupon

SanicHegehag2026-01-28 23:28

Full price is the fool price, my friend.

Fouffy2026-01-29 00:07

is loot bar or ldshop against tos since it isn’t supported by hoyo?

SanicHegehag2026-01-29 00:42

No.

Hoyoverse customer service won't intervene if there's an issue, but it's just a service that buys from the official store in different regions. You could do the same with a VPN and some time. It's just *much* easier to use a service.

I've been using Lootbar for years with zero problems, and have done a couple of deals on LDshop when they have a great coupon available.

Bierzgal2026-01-28 22:05

Hey, good for you. Just remember, just because you have money doesn't mean you need to throw it around. Spend it however you like ofc but it's not bad advice in general :).

UrGettingcooked09242026-01-28 22:06

Ok?

drflexer2026-01-28 22:53

Let people share news that they’re excited about 🥳

Big-Cauliflower-34302026-01-28 22:09

Seems to me you judged spenders only becouse you did not have the means to be one.

Totaliss2026-01-28 22:39

tale as old as time

likeawp2026-01-28 22:10

$5/month welkin pass keeps me plenty happy and ready to take on all of life's bullshit.

MrGreenYeti2026-01-28 22:32

Same for me. Except through lootbar for cheaper welkin and I treat myself to the battlepass if I make Lvl 50. So if the day comes I'm not playing enough anymore then I don't have to spend more money.

cephalophoria2026-01-28 22:12

Hey as long as you take care of your expenses and keep some savings for emergencies, your discretionary money is in fact up to your discretion.

ImNotTiredOfWinning2026-01-28 22:15

Whatever you think you can budget for spending on the game, try to keep it to about 50% of that and then splurge only when necessary.

Fabulous_Scale47712026-01-28 22:17

It’s fine to invest in your own enjoyment. Nothing wrong with it. Just don’t overdo it.

raichiha2026-01-28 22:17

I like to think of it this way; Instead of spending like $80 on a new game every few months just to finish it and probably never touch it again, I just put it into a game ive been playing and investing in for years.

The difference for me is the overall, long-term investment. Instead of a stack of old games collecting dust, I’m still playing some of the same characters with the same weapons from 5 years ago. Like personally, I love Legend of Zelda, but starting TotK after BotW with just 3 hearts and no equipment again just felt awful to me.

Considering the game itself is free, I don’t really mind using the money id spend on new games to invest in one that I already enjoy.

It also feels really, really nice after a couple of years once the investment has really started to build up!

FrozenCheeze2026-01-28 23:56

A lot of people don't think about this. I know people who buy a new game every two weeks or spend thousands of dollars on hobbies over the years.

I get hours and hours of enjoyment out of genshin for essentially free. Spending 5 on a welkin per month or a bit of a top up here or there is cheap for a hobby.

It's just microtransactions are looked at negatively compared to other things.

Neospanner2026-01-28 22:19

I mean, it's always been really, really dumb for f2p's to put down spenders. If not for the spenders, the f2p's would not have a game to play at all.

CucumberNew9002026-01-28 22:24

When i am able to work also my 5 years status of f2p will be gone. im buying those welkin skins of characters i want.

Uodda2026-01-28 22:25

Once I started work, I just dropped genshin 🤣 so I still f2np kinda

pinnko2026-01-28 22:25

Congrats on getting a job!! Don’t spend all your money on genshin. I’ve played and had a job the whole time and have only spent around 50 dollars. Buy battle pass, welkin, or skins. Things like that don’t use your money to buy primos that often it’s easy to get into the habit

Tamamo_was_here2026-01-28 22:29

Bashing people for spending money on the game is a take. You wouldn’t even be playing this game if people didn’t spend money.

PH4N70M_Z0N32026-01-28 22:30

Was a f2p. Now I only buy Welkin. Saved enough to buy New Valet skin

rainyday18602026-01-28 22:31

So on that note. What are you spenders buying? Currently f2p. The only thing i need more of is mora to upgrade. If anyone has tips for more mora besides selling amber feet pics id like to hear it 🤣

Own-Tradition-36912026-01-29 00:07

On top of welkin, I regularly buy BP after I've cleared all the free parts and it gives a good chunk of mora.

Puzzlehead_Lemon2026-01-28 22:33

My account has gained much power due to blood money (life insurance payouts). My parents hated video games and thought they were a waste of time. JOKES ON YOU! HAHAHAHAHA!

...right, there's another thing to talk to my therapist about.

aravinth132026-01-28 22:33

As someone who is about to 100% all the regions, I kinda get why people might get welkin moon because I'm at a point where I can only primos from new updates and events.

But again I doubt I will spend money on this (and any game for that matter) game even if I have a well paying job.

pikaboi1222026-01-28 22:39

'You was supposed to destroy the dark side! Not join them!' Moment lol

Good on you tho dude! As other people have said already just make sure you have enough to live comfortably and you'll be fine.

IllustratorLast12812026-01-28 22:40

I don't think there's anything wrong with spending money on the game especially if you're gonna spend like thousands of hours playing it, supporting the devs isn't something deserving of mockery as long as you're spending reasonable amount with accordance to your budget

Past-Masterpiece57872026-01-28 22:48

It's a real grind when you're at endgame and I feel that all the things I had spent time to build as a f2p will be meaningless if I spend money on a game and it won't be that attractive or interesting anymore and I'll just quit it after a few more days. Given that the time I can spend on gaming is getting less as the days go by. That's just my opinion tho,what do you guys think?

drflexer2026-01-28 22:51

Welcome to the fold. Adult money opens wonderful new doors when it comes to gaming.

I guiltlessly spend whatever I please on this game, because when I was a child I wanted so badly to spend real money on video games but my parents wouldn’t let me.

Every time I buy primos/crystals I consider it feeding my inner child.

Practical-Bridge51202026-01-28 22:55

One of us, one of us, GOOBLE GOBBLE GOOBLE GOBBLE!

SecyaDenali2026-01-28 22:56

When my sister bought welkin for me as a gift I told her you shouldnt have but thank you she goes "nah nah its cool probably wont even beat inflation."

I fukn lold

Icantw82026-01-28 23:02

Same, I have a job and save comfortably but would almost never go past welkin unless it’s absolutely necessary. I almost had to top up yesterday had I not lost the 50/50 on Ineffa. I couldn’t do that to Flins no more.

Welcome to the club.

idan_da_boi2026-01-28 23:08

I could easily spend money on welkin, but I don’t. Because I think that makes me better than that one guy at work who has a C6 Columbina and an account way better than mine /j

Detective_Raiden2026-01-28 23:35

Welcome to being f2p (forced to pay)

reddit_serf2026-01-28 23:40

Why would you ever bash other people for spending money on this game? It's their money and they indirectly fund your f2p ass.

Tripdrakony2026-01-29 00:02

Jealousy goes a far way, hu? Spend responsible. Welkin and battle pass is really all you need.

LesserTierArchon2026-01-29 00:05

when I started I made a condition to only buy my first welkin once I full starred abyss completely f2p

which took me 3 months to achieve and 5 years later my welkin is still ongoing

I never felt the need to whale because there's only a few characters I really like, some of them straight up have bad constellations and others I can save up for their c2 or even c6 as long as I'm patient enough

AstroOzo72026-01-29 00:08

I justify spending this way in any game no matter what:

Is this my main game of play?

How many hours?

Will it get old?

If it does, would it be worth it?

If I do pay, would I regret not paying now?

And that's why I got perfect cell and SpongeBob on Fortnite but I haven't played since December

xXSunSunXx2026-01-29 00:19

Be careful, I got a job and now I'm 24k in deep with gacha.

Don't get why is spending money on a game is being corrupted. Why the moral high ground on judging how others choose to spend their money?

Some people chose to spend on stuff they like, example a more expensive car, or branded apparel, more expensive restaurants and such.

Same as spending on a game.
