Genshin is an RPG

I think people like OP sometimes forget that this game is still RPG for so many people and they play it like an RPG game. Genshin still demands some grind from you to play the story or even roam around map. Like how are you gonna survive the Inazuma with Noel, Barbara, Amber and Lisa comp? You certainly don't need to watch 30 different Youtube videos to build your characters and get comp ideas but you need some decent characters to do even basic things unless you are only playing the game for Serenitea pot.

I'm pretty sure roaming Monstad with Barbara doing nothing surely would become boring as much as "tryharding" after some time.
