It depends on your definition of "dirty water."

When agriculture was invented, it created large numbers of people in one place. This pollutes water, mostly because humans shit all over the place and then dump it in the river. This happened to a much greater extent when we industrialized, with coal dust and other toxins getting into the water supply. Which we now need to (and do) filter out.

This wasn't a concern for most of Earth's existence, and, in many remote places, still isn't a concern. (I'm thinking Arctic here, there's no significant human or industrial presence.)

It's also a matter of immune system. If you're drinking unfiltered water your entire life, you're going to build up a natural resistance to whatever bacteria may be in that water. This can be seen in modern-day - when many tourists go to somewhere with lower water quality, they'll get stomachaches from the water because they're not used to it. (I had that problem when I spent a summer in Warsaw, frex.)

TCG event was mostly fine, really didn't care for the ending. All that mystery and it's a bunch of stupid Treasure Hoarders? 1.3 all over again. I don't like the TCG, but at least the event was only themed and you didn't have to play much of it.

I normally like the events with the bosses and all their buffs, but not this one - I just really hate the Thundering Manifestation.

Domain builder was eh. Never cared for events where you can't bring your own characters, or they're extremely nerfed, and it's not combat- or story-focused, so...

I was wondering when someone would start discriminating based on what instance you made your account on...

There's probably someone out there that rewrote the Inazuma archon quest... If I trusted myself, I'd do it myself.

Honestly, I don't like a lot of character's voices. I played on mute for so long that I've built up what they sound like in my head, and then the VAs don't sound anything like it. Xiao particularly.

Other than that... 95% of the women in this game are low-effort waifu bait. Like really, I'd pull for some of them if they bothered making them interesting. I was planning to pull for Kokomi... well, the Kokomi we thought she was before we met her.
