In fairness it alwaus said you should kill protectors and..... whatever the other guys are. Yeah it's still tedious though. It takes about the same time as other weeks but at least you can have fun doing public events. That being said watching people 'grind' is tedious so not sure what 'your partner' ever thought was fun watching you play previously. Do some strikes in between farming mercury. I'm also baffled why people such as you complain this game is boring when you deliberately play it boring. I don't think I'll ever write a thread saying, " I sat in Sirens Watch for 3 hours looking for alkine spores. This game is boring".
