Survey results

In this topic, I'll analyze the results of the March survey and open it up for discussion. There's quite a bit of data to go through so I'll do it in stages. In each stage I'll try to answer particular questions of interest to me and the community.

To start with, the survey attracted 67 respondents from Harem-Battle, Reddit, and Discord. These players varied in experience: 27% have been playing nearly since launch, 35% have been playing for 4-9 months, 15% for 1-3 months, 15% for 1-4 weeks, and 7% were new players. These players are very committed, probably moreso than typical players: 82% of respondents play multiple sessions a day.

These players have diverse goals:
52% prioritize clearing high-difficulty content.
52% prioritize spending as little money as possible.
50% prioritize efficiency (time-wise and/or resource-wise).
27% are collectors and/or porn connoisseurs.

The field is also split when it comes to how many elements they plan to invest in:
43% prefer to stick to 1-2 elements.
36% appear to be aiming for elemental advantage builds with 5-6 elements.
21% are evenly split, planning to play 3-4 elements. Perhaps some are aiming for an elemental advantage build for the 4 prime elements only?

Respondents seem to heavily skew towards "cashing", or being paying players. We know that free-to-play games are largely populated by free players, so this likely reflects a sample bias: the committed players who spend their time on game-related social media are probably more likely to spend on their favorite game. But while the results are biased, that doesn't mean they aren't useful; players who read community guides, for example, are more likely to belong to this sub-population.
42% are free players
9% spend or plan to spend less than 900 Nutaku Gold/month
24% spend between 900-1600 Nutaku Gold/month
18% spend between 1600-6600 Nutaku Gold/month
6% spend more than 6600 Nutaku Gold/month. These fall into what is typically termed the "whale" category.

Paying players almost universally buy or consider buying Miracle tickets. SSR Kamihime Gatcha and Limited-time SSR Kamihime promotions are also very popular. Note that the questions involving money were phrased to include people who haven't spent money yet, but are likely to.
95% buy Miracle tickets
63% roll SSR Kamihime Gatcha (1 SSR kamihime guaranteed)
55% would spend to acquire Limited Kamihime
42% roll the SSR Eidolon Gatcha

And that's it for today's round of analyses. Feel free to chime in with your own reactions, impressions, and questions.
