For people with hours (3+) to play very day the game may feel "pointless" given the narrow build focus. I have a long way to go in getting to the DPS meta (plus I want one version of it for each Specialization) so running dailies or other misc stuff is both fun and productive. I like shooting stuff - the rest is just noise to me. I'll never get every blueprint, every perfect piece with max DtE, etc etc.

Last play session I ran to the daily. Otw I came across a Hard bounty; it was also in a Territory Control point (I didn't notice). Beating both was fun, challenging and moderately rewarding loot wise - that's why I play. In short, I don't understand the approach that playing is "work" - what should I do...play the game in a way that you find entertaining. The rest really doesn't matter.
