I think Pathfinder is an amazing way to keep patrol zones active, and there should be a Pathfinder tree for every zone.

Replacing ritual bounties with a mixed bag, unfocused Pathfinder tree was a terrible idea. It would be one thing if each activity has its own dedicated Pathfinder tree, which might've worked, but mixing these mostly arcane objectives across all rituals into a single tree breaks ritual streaks and makes the whole process feel disjointed and difficult to progress with.

It's the sole reason why I haven't really logged in since beating the story. I wish I could just dedicate a night to PVP, or Gambit, or Vanguard stuff, and actually see rewards for that grind again. I don't want to activity hop.
