I don't care and think it works real slick.
Hop from planet to planet to do public events. Loading times are very quick and the in game fast travel is great.
Sure i wish there was more or even harder mode versions of the encounters. Still enjoying it and been doing them for days.
You could get an item from somewhere to ramp it up another difficulty. So when you see you have a good group of players in the environment you drop/use the item.
Unique rare gear from those mides would be great as well
