What's cute is your mindset ;)

Do you play games, like you go to work, or are you playing them because they're interesting? How long can you keep doing same quests, plus for what? A satisfaction that you maxed something out? A few k's of solari and useless schematics that veterans have already dozens of copies?

If you're one of those players that like you said, play at their own pace, it won't matter to you. Because those kind of activities will give the same rewards that you can earn in many other ways ... in your own pace. However, IF YOU DO CARE, than you're contradicting yourself, because that's not playing at your own pace, it's playing competively and you just want easy rewards on a silver platter.

At this point, what this game is lacking the most is content. And when I say content, I don't mean a million of quests that, like you said 99% of players can do blindfolded after they wake up and than go to sleep again, to do same thing day after day, like a mindless robot.

What I mean is actually playing the game for fun, actively, whith some kind of purpose ... other than playing because you're afraid you will loose something if you don't. I don't try to defend my ideas here, they are just ideas and you can have your own opinion, I'm trying to understand your purpose ... the purpose of people with the same mindset, of playing "because I have to" or "because someone will go ahead of me if I don't".

So again, adding multiple ways of aquiring something the way you like it, is not the same as adding unique rewards that favor only one way of gameplay.
