ZZZ is my favorite Gacha but Disc Farming is too punitive.

This game is great, ngl ZZZ is the most fun I've had with a gacha(used to play GI and WuWa)Next Survey we get I'm bringing up how draining disc farming is. Others are worried about designs or the new classes and what that means for the future of the game, not me. My only gripe with ZZZ atm is disc farming.

Disc farming in Area Patrol is so bad that some people don't use it to build characters and would rather go through the music shop.

I hate how by design it's suppose to be a stick and a carrot, unless you're lucky it can take months to build a character and there's always a new one to build. And don't get me wrong, that's an inherent nature gacha, it gives you goals and something to do but my god does it have be so brutal?

Don't get me started with Tuning Calibrators, I've checked and the community for the longest knew how garbage that item is alone, alright so let's combine 2 to make a special tuner, but wait, it cost another third for some reason? After you get the disc of dreams the obviously weighted stats kick you in the nuts. I know Hoyo likes these systems, but damn could you guys add an actual fail safe, why are we treating Tuners like it's valuable, the item is so unhelpful you would think we'd get more of them but it's treated like a hamster cage pass.

Well at least we have an event that triples the amount of discs you get, isn't that great? Except you could get a set for a character you don't plan on pulling for atm. You could put that in the Music Store, but remember you have to dismantle more to get less.

Again, ZZZ is my favorite gacha out all the others, the animations are fire, the characters are great, the combat has a lot more depth than what I thought before getting into it. I like that it's not an open world that's draining to explore. Hell even building characters is easier in ZZZ than in GI and WuWa.

Disc Drives, Artifacts, Echoes. I don't care what you call them, spending money should not be the only solution to alleviate "rng". And I hate normalized it is in gacha communities(speaking generally), it should not take 6 months to a year to have character perfected. But hey, all this is from someone who got ramielle's premium team, and ever since then I've been score chasing, so I guess it doesn't matter. How do you guys feel about it? Is there an optimal disc farm strategy I'm missing?
