Frustration is setting in..... There Must be something I'm missing!! Got to be!!

Guys, gotta be honest with myself this morning. I am really liking this game, however its getting frustrating not being able to upgrade armor or guns without playing the same freaking missions over and over and over and over again and again and again... i think you get the point. Okay, here is the short hairs of it all... Level 24 - 25% till level 25 rank up armor Defense level is 860 ?? somewhere close to that Armor light level is in the mid 30's V-Mark count is upper 90's Vanguard Reputation is at 1550 of 2000 required for level 3 to allow purchase of armor or weapon So technically i have to earn 450 V-Reputation and Its all good, i can get armor or weapon. !!! that means i need to run 4 missions with a +100 V-Rep Reward and 1 at +50 or 2 with +25 V-Rep.... Right???!!!! this equals 2-3 hrs of game play I can do that this evening easy..... however when i need to rank up Legendary weapons or armor, it requires other items to complete the upgrade process like 16 Helium canisters or a Shard of Light from the Traveler.... All this to say..... even when i have played for a week to earn enough marks and reputation to buy the Legendary stuff playing the same darn missions, i still have to return to the Moon or other frequently visited places to Farm items to craft upgrades....... this is getting quite redundant and boring and frustrating. Please tell me I'm missing something.... tell me there is a better way!!!

  • You've done all this math and gotten yourself all worked up. Do you still just play the game? Sounds like you just don't want to put in the work for better items. You get out what you put in. You're tired of farming for crafting mats, don't, it will just take you longer to upgrade. You should look at it from a different perspective. Look at how it will all payout in the end. If you want easy then just stay level 24. If not, put on your big boy pants and work for it. I'm a much higher level than you and I can promise you it doesn't get any easier.

    • Welcome to the MMO aspect of the game, this is nothing new to people like me who have played WoW since forever lol. I hate farming but when you get a good pattern down (like I do on the moon) you can get like 100 helium in less than an hour while getting a ton of chests as well. Just calm down, I'm sure as time goes on there will be "quality of life" changes to the game to make some things a little less tedious.

      • If they had like 3-4 more levels (planets...because yes, the planets are one level each) or DIFFERENT AREAS of the planet...so much would be better....

            • It wouldn't be legendary if it was gonna be easy to get. Put in some effort to earn some gear. Some RNG is really F***ed up in this game. The loot system could be a whole lot better. But having to put in some work to get some good high end gear is just the way it should be. Could they offer more variation in missions? Yes, I think they can and they should. But still it does not change anything about the amount of time you will have to invest.

              • That's about it, although I'd like to point out that you can buy armor from the vanguard at rank 2 and weapons at rank 3

                • My guess is you have never played an RPG or MMO before.

                  • You only need to be Vanguard Rank 2 to buy armor.

                  • You can explore, but that wont get you nothing. It seems this game has little to no reward for anything. Missions to aquire certain good items would be ok with a well thought out crafting system. I would probably have incentive to play then instead of grinding the same 4 or 5 missions while crossing my fingers and being poorly disappointed.
