  • I bounced off Warframe because I found the main game play loop to be repetitive af. For the same reason I don’t stick with MMOs in general. I don’t like doing the same dungeons over and over again hoping for a loot drop.

    Elite has more variety of activities each with their own grind. If I get bored of mining I can go shoot down some pirates for a bit. Get bored of shooting pirates, I can go explore something I have never seen. Mitterand Hollow is a standout. It’s a glitch in the game where a moon orbits a planet at an impossibly fast speed. You can’t really catch up to the moon to land on it, you have to get in front of it and wait for it to come to you. See, fun. LOL.



  • Elite Dangerous is a game of grind. They have taken steps to reduce the grind in recent updates but it is still a grind fest.

    For example, I took part in the Distant Worlds 2 expedition. I traveled across the galaxy and discovered worlds nobody else has ever seen. It was boring at times. It felt like a job at times. However, after months of grind, I was glad I did it. Distant Worlds 3 launched recently but I did not join. Once is enough.

    I also earned enough rank to buy a Federal Corvette, and then sold it because I didn’t get along with it. That was also a grind but I am glad I did it.

    Don’t get me started on unlocking engineers. Oh my God, that’s a whole new level of grind. They have made it a bit easier since I started playing but it still a lot of work.

    I know I’m not selling the game well. Unless you enjoy the grind, it really isn’t something you would stick with. Doing anything is a slog and requires a bit of planning to execute. I must enjoy that or something.

    Also, space. Who doesn’t love space?
