Grinding feels like a waste with revamp coming
The rewards are just delivering zero dopamine when I know the devs are making most everything suck compared to the new systems and rewards in the next patch, especially armor.
Everything armor is going down the drain to create a new grind for the new system. All time invested goes in the trash because their live service wants continually escalating power rewards.
set bonuses, more slots, 200 points per stat with new bonuses past 100, and gear tiers
Just all feels like a waste to grind for rewards that will go directly in the trash. And the grind systems in the story have gotten steadily more tedious. If the grinds weren't so heavy handed, I might still do a bit but the grind/reward ratio is just not motivating right now.

Im not one to complain about stuff super often but the elegant arsenal couldve been a slam dunk and was a complete airball. they had the ground work set for them with how good the brave arsenal was, those guns were an awesome way to prepare us for the final shape sandbox with strong weapons that were meant to be relevant deep into the following year and they totally nailed it. and then for rite of the nine they come out and say "our hope is that these weapons are equivalent to tier 3 weapons in the new system", so basically trying to achieve the same thing but totally missed. They had so many opportunities to give these weapons unique and strong perk combos - Prosecutor should have had jolting feedback voltshot Long arm REALLY should have had voltshot... Lone survivor is great, but only because its the first SMG ever with incandescent heal clip, this combo has long existed on other weapons. Why not give it the splash perk and a damage perk like frenzy? Cold comfort is literally worse than the original ghosts version, seriously telling us these guns were supposed to prepare us for the new system and then you put rimestealer and perpetual motion on a rocket, that has to be a joke. this was the answer to hezen vengeance? Judgment having headstone rimestealer is unique but a total gimmick Etc etc etc. THE ONLY actually super strong weapon to chase here is a sudden death because trench barrel OTP has been sought after for a long time, and these perks are super good with synthoceps builds right now. Everything else is pure novelty and gimmicks, worse than things we already have. Tinashas mastery, Velocity baton, chill inhibitor, unvoiced, hezen, corrective measure, praedyths revenge, multimach, no hesitation... these are the weapons that we will be taking into the new year. Not anything from rite of the nine lol. Prefiring people replying to me making their case for whatever nonsense buildcraft they use in vanguard ops where XYZ weapon is useful. Use whatever you enjoy I dont use the meta all the time either, but spare me the argument that it holds up against what we have already
