And you new players have it easy. When I was young, we leveled up our weapons and Eidolons uphill, backwards, and in a blizzard! Union events didn't exist and Gem Gacha didn't provide fodder for shit.
Although, you didn't have to divide your resources between so many things as today's new or newer players. Aside events, there are hero weapons to farm, farming gems to be able to get the base of all SLing, the R fods is also more demanding resource-wise since they got lower max AP and veterans also have the advantage of having piled up materials that they don't think much of, but is a concern for newer players like LB materials, cores for summoning rags and especially tier4 crystal mats.
