Update: During the past couple of weeks, following everyone's advice, I picked up the game gain. I genuinely enjoyed most of the experience. I got back in the swing of things (mostly deimos), getting to know new systems and doing pieces of content that I've been missing out. I also returned to the core systems that I like, and crafted and leveled weapons and warframes (which is I think what I enjoy the most). I got to a point where I have a pretty good impression about the current game. And my personal conclusion is that this is not a game for me. Not anymore You see, I am the completionist type of player: I love to get all the gear, complete all the missions and feel like nothing is unknown or out of reach to me. At my own pace. That pace is not necessarily fast and I was ok with that in the past when there wasn't that much to do anyway. But I can't (and will not) grind like in the past. My free time is too precious now. Reflecting a little more, I can identify the Plains of Eidolon release as the first time I said: "this is physically and mentally not possible for me; too many mission runs are needed to get everything here" (thinking about arcanes and quills specifically). And it bugged me. And that just kept buiding up as more open areas, more game modes and more progression lines were introduced. I couldn't keep up. I enjoyed the game more when it was just the regular star chart and grinding for prime gear, believe it or not. Simpler times. I sound like an old man. (Does anyone remember how crazy void survival would get, with super high level enemies, minmaxing nova and whatnot?). I suppose the game evolved away from me, in that sense. I salute you Tenno, for sticking to this game and being one of the best communities out there. Mad respect to y'all. I wish you fun and fulfilling adventures. And to DE (if any of you are reading) a big thank you. TLDR: having experienced (and remembered) the amount of commitment and time needed for achieving everything I'd like in the game, as it is right now... it's way too much for me. But I'm grateful for the fun times. (Funnily enough, I got to day 999 on the daily tribute)

I recently reinstalled Warframe in my PS4, after 2+ years of not playing. I checked my profile and have 2400+ hours played, Mastery rank 27 and a fairly rich account. I stopped playing around the same time Deimos was introduced, having played almost continuously since the game released for PS4 in 2013. I am making this post because I got completely overwhelmed logging in. And I mean completely overwhelmed. Like, I know the general layout of most things, and I've been catching up with the lore, but boy oh boy, there are too many new systems, and mod types, and resources, and things to grind for. Sooooo freaking many. I truly felt like I was experiencing things for the first time. In a good way at first, but then not so good, after realizing the terrible grind needed to get to the more novel features. This has always been like that, but it doesn't mean it's not a problem. I was hoping devs would've fixed this by now (the fundamental grindyness of it all) but sadly it's not the case. I understand that the game has been moving forward, obviously, but maybe a returning player like me, with all the past knowledge and experience, shouldn't feel this lost and tired just logging in to see what's up. I will sadly not be coming back for the same reason stopped playing in the first place: the unrewarding experience. Grinding for locked content behind repeating stuff for hours at a time. And the absurd vastness and unfriendlyness of the subsystems impossible to keep track of. They almost seem intentionally confusing. It is not a about the easyness of the game, but the relation time-reward, which is way off. Anyway, I'm saddened that I feel this way about the current state of the game, because I really was hopeful. But oh well, thank you for reading my rant. Does anyone else feel this way about the game??
