It is when they remove the option from other places on top of making the grind astronomically higher. You really think ANYONE has the patience to farm that much standing every single week when that takes 5 times as long as the old Kahl mission's, let alone someone who's wanting to farm standing for other things too? I'm already spending so much time in the labs I'm getting tired of looking at it, at least with Kahls missions you got a variety. This straight up neutered my ability to both get shards and have fun doing it and there's nothing you can say to convince anyone with a brain cell otherwise.

That doesn't mean you should take away the option for people who do like those missions away and put it in an even worse grind. I could usually get enough for the week's shard in one maybe 2 runs if I was sloppy and it only took 10-15 minutes vs now I'm forced to solo hunt down a small fortune in stupid pyramids over like 10 missions and waste several hours just to get the same result. They could have just ADDED the option to Bird 3 instead of taking it away while telling us they're being made more accessible. I was gonna be farming up standing to get copies of the grimoire for renaming fun but now all the standing I have is gonna go to shards and nothing else, because DE can't give us anything without monkey pawing us on it.
