My biggest leveling complaint is the need for 10-15+ helium, relic iron, spirit bloom, etc per "box" to upgrade your equipment. I need to start doing more dailies for shards and that is doable. But walk around patrol and look for chests/materials? Not so much. I'll pass on that thank you. Might start to PVP more because of the number of faction vendors. I don't mind grinding strikes so much as there is the handy "progress" bar showing the cap for the week and it's a way to garuntee yourself some gear. I definitely prefer PVE but so far it is a bit lacking in depth.
