Regarding the token system for standing

[-CM-Darkvamper]

Originally, I was on board. In theory, storing standing is great.
In practice, it has two main issues:

- It's a frustrating amount of menu's you need to go through, and more "lost" resources than any of the previous open worlds. Conservation? From now on you have to choose between a floof or the tokens. Normal resources? Grind everything you can, because all of a sudden you need them for father tokens.
- You no longer get to pick your poison. If you absolutely loathe conservation, mining, bounties or fishing, tough luck, you either lose 33% of your standing (grandmother requires a variety of all tokens) and your progress is slower, since you need to wait for everything to reset more often, or you suck it up, and burn out on the update before you reach rank 3.

I contemplated this first after the pre-update nerfs to helminth were announced, but now I'm sure. I'm dropping warframe for at least 3 weeks, probably a month or so, until they've somewhat fixed the economy and all nerfs are through. Real shame.

The plus side is you can earn more standing in a given day, just can't turn them in.

I tjink it is fine for the standing, not a fan of the orher tokens grind though but we are only 24hrs after release.

I hate sounding like the guy who says "I told you so"... But there's nothing surprising in here. It's been happening update after update. The smart move, it seems (according to popular opinion) is to wait 2-3 weeks before grinding an update. A lot of frustration and headaches are avoided by this simple (yet dumb) strategy.

Some people are hippies, and some prefer efficiency. I like conservation and fishing, but loathe bounties and mining. To progress, not only will I have to farm the materials, but also waste the materials I farm for standing. I don't like being forced into systems I don't like. If you do, be my guest. I'm just pointing out a flaw in the system.

Oh, I know, been here since 2016. I just hate that it is this way. Because I don't mind helping with bug reports etc, but the core system has to feel rewarding, and not force me into a corner. And this time, it feels like it does.

Agree...but now we need to wait to DE fixing mining and cutting fishes...many bugs!
