Before you bitch that the 1.6 user score is only for PS5 you should also note that Genshin's PC rating by user is 4.1 which is still worse than the analytical rating of 4.8 given to Lost Ark.

Plus the characters are more creative than your stock Zhongli / Venti / Mona and from what I see you don't have to pay anything at all to pull any character

There seems to be some cards you can collect of NPC in the game but that's completely different

IGN wrote this disclaimer in their review :

As is the trend in other MMORPGs, Lost Ark is free to play – though it does dabble with power-boosting pay-to-win mechanics a bit more than most. For example, you can pay real money to buy Royal Crystals, which function as the primary currency in the in-game store where you can buy cosmetic mounts and skins. Skins seem to vary wildly in cost (going no higher than 2,400 Royal Crystals at the moment), but mounts seem to cost somewhere in the ballpark between 1400-1700 Royal Crystals – roughly $14-17 USD.

Then there are regular Crystals, which can be earned through quests and high-end content like raids – but can currently be purchased with Royal Crystals at an exchange rate of 400 Crystals for 940 Royal Crystals or 200 Crystals for 470 Royal Crystals. That’s where the troublesome part comes in, because Crystals can be used to buy items like Phoenix Plumes that instantly revive you when you die (except for in PvP), making death irrelevant if you’re willing to spend roughly 25 real cents every time you go down.

You can also purchase items that instantly complete certain repeatable daily quests, called Una’s Tasks, for you – as long as you’ve completed them before. That gives paying players a distinct advantage by decreasing the amount of time they’ll need to wait in order to get major payouts of another type of ingame currency, called Una’s Tokens. These special coins are used to trade for Gold, the main currency that is spent on high-level gear and traded between players at the Market Board and Auction House in each major city.

Those are some undoubtedly questionable applications for a real-money currency. That said, it is neat that you can also use regular Crystals to buy the Crystalline Aura, a sort of subscription package that grants you major benefits to Lost Ark’s crafting, gathering, NPC schmoozing, and stronghold-building systems for a limited time upon activation. That means you can get many of its paid perks without spending a dime on Royal Crystals or buying one of Lost Ark’s several Founders Packs.
