If the game world had been more like those of Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption, then perhaps roaming around doing 'missions' & bouties would be lest tedious. Maybe if we felt that our grinding actually was moving plot/the Traveller's cause fwd, we'd feel less sore about it. Atm we feel like glorified pest control. All the npcs are sub-standard. The fact there are none outside the tower is equally disappointing. Why are there no Npc Guardians out in the world? No quest givers to happen upon in the so called 'wild'? I don't mind grinding provided there is a reason to it. Why cant excess ships be sold to Dead Orbit who want to flee and explore the galaxy? Why cant weapon parts be sold to FWC so they can build new weapons for the battles they forsee in the future? Why arent excess materials wanted by New Monarchy to help the city grow and defend itself in case the traveller never wakes? Things like the above are just ideas, but they could make grinding feel more worthwile and connected as opposed to the self centered levelling that it is now. We are supposed to be saving Humanity and 'pushing back the Darkness' but mainly seems like plugging fingers in a leaky Dam
