I’m aware of the origin, Semi = Half, consider SAP shells, its wordplay based on that.
I disagree with your interpretation, but of course it’s subjective - gambling is a monetization method, acquisition is the primary goal of gatcha IMO
its not the origin, its the only definition
what youre describing with everything else you attribute to being ‘semi-gacha’ is just how all free to play MMOs have basically always worked
most gacha games dont even have a tech tree/unlock structure
Just make Advance available to the community again and make adjustments as needed. Gaijin does the same thing for every other mode.
Wait a minute, how did I miss this!?
Welp, F me.
no thanks
We used to have similar game modes with sequewntial capture of points… no idea why they were removed - probably too complicated for player base and/or Gaijin’s stupid BR system means they can’t actually be “balanced”
They need to bring it back and make it permanent.
