Im honestly not suprised in the slightest. It was a question of when not if DE would go down this route. I've spent way too much on this game over the years and this is just insulting. One more reason for me to not pick up the game for nearly a year now. Thats the best way to alienate your loyal player/customer base.

Seconded. This would feel like a throwback to the old premise of being space ninjas again. But space ninjas hasnt been on DE's "creative vision" for a long time.

Building hype is the core of todays video game marketing. Overpromise and underdeliver. People will complain and provide legit feedback (which will be ignored in the long run), some will call it quits and the rest soldiers on.

Which was another instance of forcing the player to into a different "game" and after i finished that quest i havent logged on since. Remember when warframe was about space ninjas? Over time, again and again, DE tried to assimilate other subgenres into warframe. And the majority of those are, imo, hugely against the core experience which made warframe popular in the first place. Sure, stuff like the necramech was actually fun, the liches where a welcome addition, but i'll be damned if i ever do another hoverboard race, mine some freaking ores or grind reputation for lifeless npcs in an freaking mmo hub. I played and loved warframe once for not having game mechanics forced down my throat i couldnt care nor want in the first place. Somewhere along the line, warframe lost its own identity and became sort of a frankensteins monster of video games. If the would introduce pokemon like game mechanics i wouldnt bat an eye at this point.
