TL;DR: The new system is better for F2P players who only want 1 copy of as many characters as possible, but it will make leaderboard and high score chasing in pvp and raids insanely P2W.
Someone did the math on Reddit. The new system is objectively better for F2P players. You can hate the 50/50 as much as you want, it significantly reduces the expected number of pulls for a character.
On top of that, the milestone payback system that gives you 80 limited free pulls for your first 400 pulls reduces this number even more. Even in the absolute worst-case scenario, pulling for 2 characters will cost you 38 400 pyrox instead of 48 000 with the current system.Now there's IS a trade off for that: this new system is only better IF you only aim for a single copy of a character. If you want multiple copies of the same character, then the pity reset will be your worst nightmare. Sparking an early won't mean anything anymore because of that. But the only people that will get affected by this change are the ones that chase high scores in raids and the pvp leaderboard, where characters need to be minimum at UE40 and above to be usable. The new system will make leaderboard and high score chasing insanely P2W.
Can't you use the pink-crystals-whose-name-escapes-me to get more copies of the same character? Though I guess you'd need to roll more for those regardless. eta: I forgot that you can't use those to get a new characters either.
Also that reddit post points to the bigger reason why everything is on fire is because Nexon/Yostar is just bad with PR which is even more typical than their greed really.

You mean elephs, as far as I know, to be able to bypass the rolling for upgrades, players can buy specific limited elephs from the in-game store.

You can buy a character's elephs with eligmas (unnamed elephs), but you need thousands of those to max out a character. You can only get eligmas when you pull (1/10/50 per 1*/2*/3* characters) or in event shops (100 per events). If you want to max out all meta characters you need to pull for dupes as it gives you 100 elephs of that specific character.

Yep, Blue Archive is definitely screwed. This gives massive EA energy.
For context, that's a pop up ad that appears as soon as you acquire a featured banner character, pointing you to a character shard pack that's only available for 3 days. Which they added because they removed the Spark feature that you most likely would have used to get almost exactly what the pack is offering.
It was already, but it becomes obvious why they removed the spark system.
