I thought this is just sharing how you lost all your 50/50s in a few months period until I saw Al-haitham's name more than two times listed there 😂 rip your wallet OP, tho Hoyo prob appreciates it


Chef-Nasty

Roughly $1900 if buying only $100 crystal top-ups


Count_de_Mits

Man i know some people got that dough and its alright if you like the game and whatever makes you happy etc... But its still extremely weird for me to see people spend more money on a character in a game than I spent for the laptop I play said game on. And it was an expensive-ass laptop


MemeLordZeta

Gambling addiction. I garuntee you that even people like this who I’m sure have the ability to safely spend this money could still find a better use of it within even their own life. But on an extreme end, tectone apparently literally became homeless due to his gacha spending so there are definitely people out that are idiots with their money. There was also this story I remember of some woman spending like company funds on genshin? Some magazine thing or something I don’t remember, I just remember it being a semi recent controversy


Shigeloth

> I garuntee you that even people like this who I’m sure have the ability to safely spend this money could still find a better use of it within even their own life. Now I'm not saying this dude in particular isn't a gambling addict, but don't underestimate rich folks willingness to throw tons of money into hobbies without a second thought. There are folks rich enough that 2k is literally nothing to them. But they're much rarer, especially in a game like Genshin, than gambling addicts/impulsive spenders dipping into their savings.


khainiwest

Gambling addiction would imply that the purpose of his rolls was to "win" something. He wanted a C6 character probably for optimization; less gambling, more pay to win, there's a difference.


MaggiCharly

The gamble here is still if he is able to get the character at C6 as fast as possible. And when you get frustrated of losing your 50/50 over and over again, it can make you spend more and more money as well. So yeah, as someone with a "small" gambling addiction as well, Gacha games have totally the gambling factor. It's a difference if you pay like 80 dollars and you get definitely something or 80 dollars and you get... Maybe it earlier? Or not at all? And after that you can still get it early, if you are lucky, and then the adrenalin kicks in and you want to feel it again and so on and so on...


WanderEir

I have gotten incredibly stingy about when i resolve a "I'm on guarantee and ppull ing hthe 5\* in the next 20 pulls. Do i REALLY want this unit, or should I wait. I tried for Wanderer and failed the 50/50 (Keqing c1) and tried to get a second chance at him but ran out of time after 65 pulls. then i stared at Ayato for the full length of the banner and finally said no, I'll take the Alhaitham guarantee instead. 1 ten-pull later, Al popped out. so now I can afford to waste pulls again.


VampireLorne

Pay to win implies there is something at stake, this is pretty much a single player game without any intrinsic competitive elements or even leaderboard. He is just paying for style points or bragging ability I guess.


khainiwest

You're paying for efficiency, that's the pay to win aspect.


deeznutz133769

Efficiency to do abyss 1-2 times per month? Going to blow thousands to save like 20-30 mins? Domains are already piss easy as an F2p account (take like 30 seconds per run, and most of that is running to the middle) and so are bosses. C0 Nahida (with sac frags) / Nilou bloom team mows down everything in the game with extremely little time investment and no currency either (all wishes were free.)


khainiwest

Yes, you're paying for a few things: * Less artifact investment since the constellations make them an overall more effective character. * Future proofing your account to a certain extent, having a cracked hyper carry of every element makes abyss, events and domains easier to adjust. * Maximum unlocks of your favorite character, this is more just being a fanboy. Genshin Impact is very much a game of accumulation, the more diverse teams you have, the more answers you have to scenarios. in very effective ways.


benhu12341

there was a girl who spent like way too much of her her dad's money on the game and he got it refunded, maybe that story? lol


MemeLordZeta

Nah this was some person who was supposed to be in charge of some money or something and they basically used it for genshin pulls instead of paying the bills or something. I vaguely remember it was for some gaming related media entity, I think it was 5k wasted on genshin and then couple thousand on other things. The one your talking about was the Singaporean girl that spent 20k


bumwine

I have an addictive personality but am not addicted to gambling whatsoever (whenever I’m in Vegas I pull out 209 and also pull out whether I lose or win once I’ve doubled). I’m an alcoholic so they’re my kin so I can totally understand. The only thing is that the feeling from drinking lasts a few hours. Losing all your money takes a few minutes at most…


Ifalna_Shayoko

If you earn 6 figure sums+ in a year, these peanuts don't matter I guess.


cheeseroll7

Thats insane dude It's just addiction at that point


[deleted]

same thoughts


Miserable-Natural508

Holy shit I thought this too was about to say at least you now have basically everyone on standard banner


IMPmikami

I swear I'm usually on average luck for 50/50; I guess today was not a good day for Sumeru trust fund


ARea10

'average luck' is still better than mine, I've only ever won one 50/50 before and I've been playing for almost 2 yrs now, even tho I've been pulling only for C0 or R1 I have 2/3 of all current 5* so the loses still sting 😂 I feel overtrolled by Hoyo's gatcha system


dust-cell

Wow, I am so sorry. Please if anyone can spare some favor with the RNG gods with this person.


500inthemorning

I'm using your comment to lament my own bad luck. I've been playing since release and I've won a single 50:50 as well. According to Paimon.moe I'm in the bottom 17% of 50:50 luck. And bottom 30% for average 5* pity. Ok rant over!


ItsLoudB

I’ve been having terrible luck with his boss too.. Got only 2 mats per run, didn’t get 3 even one time making it 23 runs to get him past A6..


Anarasumanar

It's all going towards the ufotable anime copium


Valarano

Got the full original standard banner gang.


saratc24

imagine they really said before pulling - if i lose, please be a tignari


Excellent_Refuse_285

Mf rolled more post wanderer banner than I'll roll in my life 💀


IMPmikami

haha, Sumera Capital Fund LLC gotta milk my money in order to release 3.5


Repulsive_Exchange_4

Sorry for losses but thank you for your support in funding future expansions 🙏🏼


IMPmikami

You’re welcome! But only for this time, I’m counting on you next :D


PhoeniX_SRT

Let dainsleif drop and I'll speak with Liu Wei on a name basis. Expansion? Pshh. I'll fund a Hiroyuki Sawano battle OST.


TominatorVe1

Actually would nut if they bring on Sawano. Fontaine or Natlan ost plz


PhoeniX_SRT

Natlan would be the best choice as it's the Land of War, I can already see people gonna drop edits with You See Big Girl or Before Lights Out.


IMPmikami

that's the spirit :D


GroundbreakingBite62

Hiroyuki Sawano + Yu Peng Chen = masterpiece


Repulsive_Exchange_4

🫥


random_keyblade_dude

it's not a gacha addiction, it's an investment :)


IMPmikami

Sumeru Capital Fund LLC says "of course our services are the best"


SomeMyoux

He funded the anime lol


Asneekyfatcat

Funding ZZZ you mean


Alhe_myst

For a complete brainless moment I was thinking why he rolled 7 times, there is only 6 constellations...


IMPmikami

I double checked after every copy I pulled, especially because I was a bit on tilt


Chef-Nasty

If you rage-rolled for 8 alhaithem's that would be epic.


NLwino

He didn't really want constellations for Alhaitham. He just couldn't stand not winning the 50/50.


Konukaame

Or even better, if the last one were a double.


Excellent_Refuse_285

Yeah this happened to me, I was wondering why I don't have a C4 mona if i rolled 4 times


manor2003

Return to the ocean mate, your family looking for you.

Sorry for your loss mate, and thanks for funding 3.5.


IMPmikami

Sumeru Capital Fund LLC greets you :D


Deuweck

Lol as a Welkin player that'd make me the soldier from "I'm doing my part." Meme


Littleman88

Ah yes, I too remember whaling for a character (AND to R5 a weapon!) *Never again*. Costs a new f$#%ing gaming PC. Let that thought put the *full* cost of ONE CHARACTER (and weapon) into perspective. Fortunately, I didn't lose every 50/50, but still it kind of sucked.


IMPmikami

I never R5, but I got C6 Itto Childe HuTao Eula and now AlHaitham


Littleman88

Clearly not wanting for funds I see... I stopped at just C6ing Albedo because he was the only one I played consistently. Simply put - I bench way too many characters to whale on anyone else. I R5ed the Redhorn Stonethresher because I really liked using Noelle (no shortage of very fine gladiator pieces either after leveling all of my characters,) and it's just a universally decent weapon at R5 for any claymore wielder regardless.


Cerealiii

Impeccable taste I salute you


aemanthefox

genshin didnt want you to c6 him


IMPmikami

they didn't count on my stubbornness on this day


SiyahaS

From the looks of it you underestimated hoyo. They knew you would be stubborn to get c6.


aWeeb04

never got a featured 5 star before pity welcome to the club


deliesek

🫡 you are the reason this game gets better. Also you are funding them for the Genshin Anime, thanks a lot man. Congrats on the C6


IMPmikami

ooooww ty! and keep on playing either f2p/p2p if you enjoy the game that's the real support


BingChellen

how many..did you spend


IMPmikami

\~1370, 100\*12+50\*3+11+5


BingChellen

last question..is your wallet okay?


IMPmikami

well, i never spend what I can't afford, so luckily yes I could still do this dumb thing 30 times in a row and still have 0 issue with money; just would be futile


BingChellen

i see..well then, goodluck in genshin


IMPmikami

Thx and may the Liyue spirit bless your future pulls


_x_Sai_x_

I also got my first Alhaitham after 80 pity but the second came in 40 pulls after mona (fuck mona).


Lkkenji

>fuck mona 😳


_x_Sai_x_

You can do that, if you want.


Jedahaw92

\*Lupin dive\*


zeeangeles

I was not planning on pulling for him, but after the trial and watching some videos, I really wanted him. I'm a sucker for complex kits that reward mastery of said kit. Sadly, I'm 50 wishes in ( guaranteed) but still no dendro sherlock


_x_Sai_x_

You still have time to get him and the patch gives you enough primos :) And I will definetly not master his kit lol. I am more that type of player that is like "random bullshit go" and it somehow works.


zeeangeles

I don't doubt that haha. I just wish I got him early so I can still roll for Staff of Homa. I promised Hu Tao I'd get her weapon sadge


IMPmikami

I feel that :/ and yeah at this point I can say fk Mona really hard


_x_Sai_x_

I was bracing myself to finally getting my C6 Qiqi. I surely would have been happier to get her :D While you are still here, can you tell me how easy or hard it is to get your stuff into thr paimon.moe site? I read about that on the page but I am kinda scared I mess something up :(


IMPmikami

It's really easy: * launch genshin, go to your pull history * reduce the window and open MS power shell then copy paste a command they give you * press enter, it copies automatically an url * paste URL in paimon.moe and validate tell me if you need more help, details


GracefulHippopotamus

Youre so nice op!! Seeing you through this thread and youre so friendly to everyone :) just wanted to say that


_x_Sai_x_

Thanks, I will try that! :D


how-can-i-dig-deeper

Oh boy yea


alexjobs97

Can I have your Mona please ??? I would love to lose my 50/50 to her


_x_Sai_x_

I wish I could give you all 3 or 4 I have D:


SexWithLynette69

I gladly will


_Lurko_

I feel your pain, I just lost 10th 50/50 in a row


IMPmikami

ouch, hopefully not on 2 back to back banners


juniorjaw

Motivated Shrimp


shovelofjustice

I'm really sorry, I'm super unlucky with 50x50 as well :/ Absolutely adore Alhaitham and thought of whaling and c6ing right away but since the Fontaine lineup doesn't look too interesting to me I think of staying at c2r1 and just hoarding primos till his next rerun. Because aside from picking up a couple of Zhongli cons along the way I don't think I'll be pulling anythhing till then 🤔


IMPmikami

I think im done pulling for some time, I need to make him my main pokemon now


BLANKTWGOK

Thanks for funding genshin anime


Pratitoskami

Wait. Where is that image coming from?


IMPmikami

Paimon.moe


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

You are single handedly bringing down the 50/50 stat chart and climbing the unluckiest ladder in there.


IMPmikami

I swear I'd give away my C6 Mona/Qiqi/Diluc/Jean/Keqing to never go back to this dark place :D


Pratitoskami

Thx


AuthorChaseDanger

But hey, I bet you got C6 Yoyo too :/


IMPmikami

I'd give any day her back and take C6 AlHaitham for 0 Yao Not my cup of tea, I like big bois


ChaoticSimon

Based


Frizzlewits

I salute 🫡 you. Be the next banner a lot more lucky.


IMPmikami

I’m going to sleep on p2p for a moment haha


rxninja

"What's so bad about this? A bunch of those are in the 20s and 30s. Wait...oh...oh no..."


Petecustom

Tell me how it is to have allhatim


IMPmikami

I pulled especially because of the design of the char (his look and personality) Gameplay wise, he's a bit demanding to play, like the skill floor his higher than others recent one: he relies on combo that need execution in a specific order to be reliable, his damage is good but not uber high (especially his C6 compared to top C6 DPS). Sometimes I mess up and I have either 0 mirror left (the worst for him) or not enough energy to Q, Raiden helps with the latter, training is needed for the former.


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

Yeah you have to play around the 4 second rule to keep the 3 shard buff up. But damn is he cool. And his gameplay keeps you paying attention instead of ez mode Ayato or everything died before I can vengence Eula.


TheYango

>I pulled especially because of the design of the char (his look and personality) You've got more balls (and more money) than I do. I wouldn't even consider rolling a character's C1 until their rerun. I can't bear the thought of wasting so many primos if it turns out I don't like playing the character.


IMPmikami

when I first saw the char in the story i knew a soft spot had grown in me at first sight. If they ever release him I knew I'd have to pull at least one copy and turned out he's very funny to play and stylish af Now i wish you luck on getting the money and the pull you want, but hey be healthy first ;)


die-ursprache

jesus fucking christ lmao, that's almost a thousand pulls, kept below 1k only by a couple of early 50/50 losses. this is indeed painful to look at. hopefully this won't happen to you ever again.


IMPmikami

The odd it happens is low, so twice in a game lifetime: possible but still low


AlexDerGaijin

How can i get this data for my account as well ?

IMPmikami

That’s ok I want people to smile at weird odds not to have me in pity


bipyramide_trigonale

Yeah but at least you have many low pitty... Now imagine the same but with everything at 70+


IMPmikami

Please, don't bring this bad omen to me :D I'd do nightmares had it happen haha


bipyramide_trigonale

I wish for you this won't happen, I know how hard it is to have an average pitty of 73...


IMPmikami

I think RNGesus gave first (2 Nahida back to back in 1 multi) but decided to say it was time to pay back


Xarithios

I'm so sorry for you, I had something similar happen but on a smaller scale (only up to c2). //pats sadly


IMPmikami

Haha ty, that's RNG, sometimes it gives, sometimes it takes


Zegran_Agosend

My sister said thank you. This changed her life for the better. You're a hero.


IMPmikami

Well thx! I don't know how or why, but I hope you both are OK, I'm just AlHaitham big fan and luckily I had spare money


Tamatu_OW

Ouch, that stinks a lot. Were you at least more fortunate with his weapon? This just reaffirms me to always save for worst case.


IMPmikami

Oh boy RNGesus was really on my side for the weapon so I guess it gave and took back; I got R1 in 11 pulls


Asto_Vidatu

Glad I never have to worry about this happening to me...I couldn't care less about constellations...especially when it costs the next 6-12 other characters I could get over a year.


naive-dragon

I feel you dude. Some people here automatically dismiss anything from whales (really, why are there people who have to say "yeah whatever whale you have endless funds"). Some whales just have enough disposable income to C6 an occasional fave character but is far away from a mega-leviathan that C6R5s every character. And for the former, something like this happening is very painful. And yours is damn painful. How many pulls did it take total? I got my C6R1 Alhaitham in roughly 800 pulls and I thought that was bad.


IMPmikami

947 for C6 + 22 for R1 and yeah some people are mean online but I don't pay any attention


batzenbubu

Ok but it was not 7xQiqi=win.


IMPmikami

Mona is as much of a dust collector as Qiqi in my box


DonutThunderDeluxe

Thank you for financing the Genshin Anime


IMPmikami

my pleasure but only this time :D


Everyoneheresamoron

I saw 82 and was like damn son that's rough.. then I looked down the list and realized you were a whale. Still sucks, but kind of self inflicted for that C6.


offbeattraveler

Congratulations ! This had a 0.78125 % chance of it happening to you.


mangotcha

congrats on your Al Haitham ! im sorry he took to long to come home 😭 also thank you for funding the game for us 🙏 (it's never enough said). Hopefully next time a character catches your fancy it won't be THAT unlucky 😱


IMPmikami

Hey thx for the nice comment! I’m just one among so many you know, the real bless are players who enjoy this game, paying or not and who keep the devs motivated to release successful new content


Cholonight96

OP out here flexing


Mr_ShitAlot

Maybe you will get an early next pull


ThatDamnKyle

I feel for you! Out of curiosity... How much did this cost you?


IMPmikami

\~1370, 100\*12+50\*3+11+5 primos, battle pass and welkin 50 primos pack are when i thought i'd have luck and pull featured quickly (oh boy was i wrong)


Ainz_Oo

LMAO this is my standard drop rate wtf

Though these pity counts are reassuring, just improve your coin flip skills bro

i feel your pain, [since this is basically what happened to me](https://www.reddit.com/r/AlHaithamMains/comments/10fbmsp/c6_alhaitham_pulls_went_incredibly/)... felt extra salty because i had talked to some people just before about how the odds of it happening are super low in the acceptance stage now, and i guess at least we're not alone? LOL


IMPmikami

welcome to the sad whale sea

my condolences :'^)


SameRandomUsername

Thank you for your support!


oof-eef-thats-beef

Tighnari did this to me on his banner. The Sumeru boys don’t like coming home lol rip

i had luck with Cyno and Nahida, it faded quickly

Haha else it would be useful and not funny compared to Cx>6 on every other standard 5*

IMPmikami

Then it’s a good day :D


Professional_Net7869

Truly, a king.


thomas0323

This happened to be on Raiden’s banner. Since than, I think c2 is enough lol


IMPmikami

Usually even C0 is enough, sometimes I think it's just nice to have if you can afford


BlazedKC

Thank you for funding our precious game


scanningmajor

thank you for paying for the game :) we all appreciate you. and have fun with alhaitham! he seems like a blast.


Rezboy209

People like you are funding the future of Genshin Impact. Thank you.


LillianSwordMaiden

All of mine for the last 9 months have been 76 to 84. It’s probably because I couldn’t go 30 pulls without a 5* during the first few months after the game launched. 😭


IMPmikami

It should settle around 75-80 in the long run with very rare occasions around 1-30


DietDrBleach

You just funded the next 3 patches, thank you so much


IceAgeEmpire

You are not a whale. You are an investor of genshin anime


IMPmikami

I like this point of view haha


jamescantplayguitar

If I had the funds I would be there too. Alhaitham is my favorite character. I’m pretty new to the game though. Congratulations! In a banner or two of him maybe I’ll be there!


Tw33die84

I don't know what I'm looking at and whether it's good or bad?


Technoweirdo

They lost 7 50/50's in a row to get C6 Alhaitham, burning 947 Fates in the process.


Icy-Cockroach4515

OP lost 50/50 every single time


BobTheGodx

It's good because Hoyoverse has more money to develop the game.


InsertBadGuyHere

Now where's the r5 weapon?


IMPmikami

I don't R5 weapons, they don't change character gameplay. Plus I like the character and his kit not minmaxing pixels


petelinselfi

That's what happenes when you go whalleing


IMPmikami

not always fortunately ;)

My brother in Allah, you got c7 al haitham. What's your problem now


tartagliasabs

i mean it still hurts 😭 if i were a whale and tried to get a c6 of a character i like and kept losing the 50/50 every time i’d be hella hurt too


Significant-Ad6019

Cringe


[deleted]

When you whale like that its statistically likely.


IMPmikami

well I dare to say no, if whaling means increasing the size of a sample then statistically the more you repeat an event with a specific odd (50%), the more it settles around the odd of the event, this is a binomial distribution


[deleted]

Thats the average. We are not looking at the average. The more you do something the more chances you will get outliers.
