Zetas Crunch

Essentially, that's exactly what I'm saying. Olddumper is insisting that there isn't a zeta issue at all, because one could theoretically be earning enough zetas in some edge case scenario where you're earning every possible zeta and dumping all your discretionary resource income into obtaining zetas, and I'm saying that doesn't indicate that there's not an issue, because that would be a terrible path to take. Heck, if you were dumping all your resources into zetas, you probably wouldn't even have enough characters at a usable level to put them on!

Some zetas could be considered "soft" requirements because they're necessary to get a team to function, but by and large, they're not hard requirements.

That means, for anyone who wants to progress and unlock advanced content in this game, it's not much of a choice. You have to farm new characters, you have to gear them up. Period. So that also means a certain portion of your resources have to be dedicated to those pursuits.

Isn't this just another way of saying that this is a resource management game and you'll do better if you manage your resources better? That it's a choice doesn't mean that there's never a better choice. "Choice" doesn't mean "might as well use a coin flip, either outcome is just as good".
