Why can't the Grineer ally with us during Scalet Spear?

[Duality52]

It's so stale to have the Grineer follow the "shoot anything that isn't Grineer", while more annoying that they are hampering us during Scalet Spear. This is just like Invasion, but the fun part of Invasion is the faction you side with is properly allied with you.

There may be complaints of how this would make the event easy, but rather than getting the ease of gameplay we are getting some fun out of it by having Grineer fight alongside with us. Let's also mention the apparent lack of involvement by our main Syndicates and somehow Teshin who decided to not believe the Sentients are returning.

From a lore point of view at this point the remaining Grineer queen its collecting kuva to bring back her sis that some Tenno killedt, The Grineer that you figth are mostly Voidheads that are engineered to be as loyal to their queens as an ant to hers, so unless you somehow get some domain over the remaining queen they will not, also they are racist F UCKs so they see rest of humanity as trash.

If you need allies try with Corpus better.

Also Grineer are soo abundant thay by sheer numbers even beigs as powerfull as teeno cant even defeat their empire.

To be honest, I'm personally not a fan of the "put aside our differences and worth together against a greater threat" storyline. While it's good for giving popular villains a face turn, it's SO cliche at this point. This might just be me being jaded after 7 years of City of Heroes content just throwing hero and villain players together in lieu of creating villain content, but I personally find that narrative unrewarding, as well as limiting. Keeping all factions at each other's throats opens the door for more interesting encounters and for individual characters to temporarily jump sides, like Alad V did during The Second Dream.

It's not necessarily a bad story, mind you, but it's the paint-by-numbers plot that almost all video games go with when they introduce a new threat.
