Genshin Impact fans still holding out for 1st-anniversary rewards as event nears

Most Genshin Impact fans are disappointed or are outright angry with the rumored 1st-anniversary rewards. While there are some defenders, it's worth noting that the overwhelming majority of tweets condemn miHoYo in some capacity. The remainder of this article will focus on some players hoping for better rewards.

These tweets do not contain leaks; hence some players using terms like "copium speaking." They merely hope that miHoYo will release more information about the upcoming 1st-anniversary event.

The above tweet is the most popular one related to "hope". The user hopes that miHoYo is aggressively attacking leakers to make the anniversary rewards a surprise. There is no guarantee that this scenario is true, but there is a possibility nonetheless.

The "leaker hunt decree" is a nickname given to miHoYo's recent stance on leakers. They've sued Bilibili to learn more about some leakers, inspiring several leakers to deactivate their Twitter accounts.

miHoYo also went after Honey Impact, although it's worth stating that the account is still up and active. Genshin Impact leaks are still ongoing, although they're prevalent through different means now.

These tweets showcase more fans eagerly hoping for miHoYo to introduce more rewards for the 1st-anniversary event. The common theme of disappointment and anger are still present.

Genshin Impact fans do not want cheap rewards. Anniversary events tend to be some of the most generous events in gacha games, hence why some of these players are disappointed with miHoYo seemingly announcing nothing special.

Still, these fans hope for the developer to do more to make the event more noteworthy. They don't specify what type of rewards miHoYo should offer, so it's an open-ended question.

Some comments on these tweets do bring up how past events were generous with their rewards.

There are even more tweets discussing how some people hope for better rewards in the 1st-anniversary event. The last tweet is one of the few that brings up a possible solution, whereas the others talk about how the user hopes for something better.

Many gamers have hoped for a free five-star unit in the past, so hoping for a 4-star character is safer, albeit not as exciting for most players. Still, the common sentiment of hoping to see an announcement for the 1st-anniversary event is commonplace.

Only time will tell if miHoYo's current marketing strategy will pay off. It has angered both the Chinese and American fanbases thus far, so it will be interesting to see how the organization progresses with the 1st-anniversary event.

Here are some final tweets to showcase more players' hope for the 1st-anniversary event. Most tweets that support miHoYo or hope for a better event tend to get substantially fewer likes and interactions than those that bash it.

These tweets continue the same general idea of how past events had some excellent rewards and how miHoYo should reward their loyal player base. It will be intriguing to see how the company reacts to this online "backlash".
