question to the community: what was your primary reason for getting MR30+?

[PR1D3]

I’m a vet who was there practically. The forma bonus and the blessings are nice. Op doing it to screw over shield gaters is so deliciously evil I wish I thought of it but will now do it myself.

If you had somehow fooled yourself into thinking you weren't griefing, it's never too late to change for the better.

Maybe it's never too late, but it sure doesn't look promising.

Its progression. I see it, and I do it when the mood strikes me. I'll make a bunch of weapons, wait for affinity booster weekend, then stack boosters and go to town. All of that so I can have my own blessings 😀

i could not care less about the couple people that genuinely feel like they cannot play the game at any level without optimal abuse of shieldgating

Ah, that's probably why you wrote this:

yes, i dislike shield-gating *that* much, seeing people put the game down for 3 hours because they can't shield-gate as efficiently anymore is incredibly funny to me.

there is no reason why a 25% shield boost should prevent you from playing and if it does, that's on you, not on me. 

Classic griefer loophole right here: I've decided it's unreasonable for people to feel negatively about something, so when I purposefully manifest that something — with the explicit goal of eliciting negative reactions — that's not actually griefing!  I've decided that it's your fault if the thing I did explicitly to upset you upsets you.

Which is to say: you're a child dangling your hand in front of your sibling's face while taunting, "I'm not touching you."

 

Anyway, there's really nothing further to discuss, since your confession is on the front page and you've now made it clear that you're not keen to grow as a person.  But I do sincerely hope that life treats you with the opportunity and kindness necessary to someday grow past your desire to grief.  Wishing you the best.

It was because I was under the extremely misguided expectation of MR30 meaning anything at all considering it took DE 7 years to add enough content to make it possible, making it a milestone of devotion. Needless to say I was extremely wrong and I have since then lost the desire to collect anything or build new things when released because none of them matter or have any effect in my progression as a player.

it's not hard to survive even in level 500+ steel path without needing to abuse shieldgating. 

Really?

We're supposed to believe you're speaking from experience and have ez mode lvl 500+ in SP w/o shield gating when you don't even have enough SP mastery to have cleared SP Earth and completed a junction?

Cause alot of the times there is nothing else to do but you still feel like playing warframe.

[drnlmza]

I like trying new stuff. Warframe likes throwing stuff at players. Somewhere along the line, MR 30 happened, without me specifically working towards it.

I will note that the first Prime Resurgence was a big boost to my progress, but that was from chasing a bunch of shinies that hadn't been available to me previously and not because of any specific MR goal.

I do like the bonuses for being MR30+, though - they're nifty.

[xcrimsonlegendx]

It wasn't really a conscious decision, just kind of happened.

•  I like the game, so I play it a lot
• I have a tendency to 100% games
• I also tend to enjoy collecting things

[(XBOX)Hellsteeth30]

I'm bordering on 17 currently and aren't really that bothered about MR 30 or even 17 itself to be honest.

Tests are a PITA at times and 16 is where you have access to everything except blessing trolling (you know who you are, shield blessing trolls😉).

Sure I'll get there one day but not for several years.  Not buying junk to rack up points.

[(PSN)ApoX95]

generally just my love for the game. I started in 2013/2014 on PC, then completely restarted on PS4 and playing ever since. and even after reaching MR30+, they've added useful stuff (primarily the whole forma-situation since it really is a god-given to just forma a weapon/frame and have the changes applied to the fullest instantly).

the Legendary Cores are also easy plat though, the riven slots are quite handy as well and just having the possibility to make 32,5k standing per day now feels great!

[Mazifet]

Not mr30 yet, but im planning to reach it somewhat soon. mostly just for easier eso leveling, not having restricted loadouts when formaing, and the blessings are useful. also increased capacity for various things like syndacites.

[sly_squash]

Riven cap bump.  30 extra slots means I get to maintain an additional 30 riven listings which has translated into tens of thousands of plat since reaching this high water mark.

My goal was to learn as much about the game as possible; through using all frames, weapons etc.

The mastery rank just happened naturally during the learning+forma process.

Pretty much this. It's the same reason I have every job to 90 in FFXIV; I want to try everything so I can find the things I do want to play (and also to understand how it all works together).

I was chasing "I want to try this" and "I want to experiment with a build on this" and so on; LR2 just sort of happened as a side effect of that.

[AnatharsWrath]

My original reason was that i planned to quit playing after hitting MR30 - that has obviously changed as i now use Warframe as my sling-back game. 

Warframe is that game i go back to when i have nothing else to play, or when im not feeling up to continuing work on a more difficult/time consuming game that i am currently engaged with.
