Omg. I just connected after coming to my house and saw this. Wait, Minami!

Look, I'm not going to tell you to keep playing if you don't enjoy it anymore. It is pointless. This is a game, so the idea of playing it is to have fun, of course. And if you are not having fun, it don't make any sense to be playing.

But I can't just see you leaving the game just like that. What I want to tell you is: think about it very carefully. If you are going to leave, do it just because you don't enjoy the game, and not because you don't enjoy the summoning system. I mean, this game is just more than that. F/GO is more than just a slot machine or a pachinko machine were you insert coins to obtain a Servant. It have some story (I'm not a big fan of it, but many people enjoy it), it have some challenges (in fact, wow, this event seems rather challenging).

I can perfectly understand how you feel. Remember when we first met. You had a lot of SSR, and if I remember correctly you started playing after me. I was playing and playing knowing that a player with less time than me had more Servants (maybe even better Servants), and also knowing how a friend of mine that joined the game because I told him obtained almost every Servant I wanted (Waver, Jack the Ripper, Jeanne Alter, Nero Bride, Illya), playing less time than me. So, once again, I perfectly know how you feel.

Why I keep playing F/GO during that time even when my luck with the summoning was terrible? Because I knew one thing for sure: this isn't a "corrupted system", or a "corrupted RNG", it's probabilities, just that. With a 1%  chance of success, it's very common to fail. And to fail many, many times. I told you before, right? I summoned 134 times before Hijikata (134 failures even with a 1% success chance). And here I am, summoning two SSR between 16 summonings.

What I'm trying to say: don't let the salt of the failure dominate you. Don't let it cloud your judgement. Before leaving the game think if the summoning is the only thing that matter to you in this game. For example, I learned to stop being salty with the game. Why? Because I enjoy other things. I enjoy the challenge sometimes, I enjoy some character designs, and more than that, I enjoy how this game let me know some great people like Calatore, Stray, Hikaru, you, and all the people I talk to here, and also enjoy playing with them, talking with them about what happen, about the events, about strategies.

Also look at you, at your account, and look how truly fortunate you are. Yeah, you had summoned hundred of times recently without a SSR. But at the same time until a few time ago you had 9 SSR while I only had 7, even when I started playing (if I remember correctly) a little sooner than you. And both of us have more SSR than some players that started before both of us. We can feel unfortunate or salty because we didn't obtained our favorite Servants (I don't have Okita, Musashi, Jack the Ripper, Jeanne Alter, Cu Chulainn Alter, Mysterious Heroine X Alter, Waver, Illya, Scathach, Saint Martha Ruler, Iskandar, etc, etc, etc, etc). But we need to learn (and not only in this game, in the whole life) to be grateful for those thing we earn, we achieve, even if they are not what we expect. Learn to enjoy the bright side of the life, of our days, instead of thinking only about those things we fail to obtain.

Let me repeat myself that I don't want to hold you in a game you don't enjoy. I just want you to think very carefully before leaving all this behind, all the time you invested in this game, all the experiences you can have here aside the salty summoning. And also want to try helping you with that advice: enjoying what you have, instead of suffer for those things you don't have. And I'm not talking about being conformist. The conformist is a passive person that just accept his life, without trying to change it. I'm talking about being grateful with our achievements, a little more positive with can do. And, of course, keep trying to do what you want to do. Because... You know what is the great thing about probabilities? Yeah, you can fail. Even with a 1% chance you can fail one thousand times. But at the same time, as long as you have 1% it means you can do it, it isn't impossible. It can take more time, it can take more patience, but it can happen, and it WILL happen as long as you keep trying over, and over, and over, and over.

After you think carefully what to do, I'll support your decision, whatever you decide.
