Ya I meant the character gacha, especially once new characters are added. The gear gacha doesn't seem worth it either. I can get like 40-50 purple shards per day running raids, I wouldn't want to spend any gems on them at all really. The chests don't seem as bad as I first thought though as I mentioned in my ninja edit right before you posted, it seems you might as well open them, I'm still not sure if they can have anything amazing in them though.
