Game Isn't Really Fun.

Welcome to the club.  Devs don't really listen to community feedback.  Been waiting months for a gameplay update, looks like its never coming.  Survival shows you where their heads are at.  They just aren't up to giving this game the content it needs.

I agree with a lot of your post but this is the biggest thing.

 

Grinding isn't inherently a bad thing. But it needs to be disguised better, it needs to be made more fun and engaging, there needs to be a variety of ways to do it, and, most of all, the game's reward mechanics shouldn't make players feel like they need to play a different way.

 Even if enemies continued to have bloated health and armor values and bad AI, if they just made several viable ways to play the game that didn't cripple your farming it would be a huge improvement. It was this kind of thing that made Deus Ex so fun, you could go through an entire level without killing anyone or being seen or you could blow the doors down with explosives and mow everyone down. The most efficient way to play the game was the one you invested in so naturally you'd play you're favorite play style and be effective with it.
 This isn't the case in warframe.

 

All of the points you bring up are interesting and I agree with most of them but I don't really feel like making a giant post to respond so I'll just stop here.
