Is anyone else tired of the fake outs?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels like the writers for HSR are using fake outs too often in their stories, starting from 2.0.

Duke Inferno and his goons got introduced in a trailer, only to get killed off by Acheron.

Firefly was seemingly killed by the Memory Zone meme, but nope apparently it wasn't death but just dormancy and it's just Gallagher's pet.

We were convinced that Sparkle was really planning to blow up Penacony but nope, they were just fireworks.

We thought Herta was actually conversing with Nous before the start of 3.0, but nope it was just a hologram.

Now, with the ending of the Mythology trailer, we see something seemingly ominous happen with Tribbie, but honestly it'll probably be another fake out because god forbid something bad happens to the gacha characters. So I'm just left here feeling doubtful that 3.1 and onwards will really deliver a meaningful story at this point.

I do hope the story ends up being worthwile but I can't say I'm confident with the recent track record so far.
