As a new player (I say new but I've already poured 100 hours into this), I find the amount of gear required for my to level up my mastery rank crazy. I know that MR doesn't matter past 8, but I can't help but shake the feeling that it'll be important to get, say, 15 MR soon. What this has led me to do is to literally get a new frame+primary+melee, get them to 30, and then repeat the process. And when I say repeat the process I mean it - this isn't just a few repetitions, this has been going on since I started.

I honestly see no reason to use anything other than the Synoid Gammacor. It's the most overpowered gun in the game, and it's a secondary. I'm not getting new guns to play with them - I don't even try. I just get them to level them up to 30 to raise my mastery rank.

Mods are ridiculous. New primed mods are coming out every 10 days, and on top of that I have to max all the old mods that everyone already has maxed (serration, redirection, vitality, continuity, flow, streamline, etc etc). Sure if you've been keeping up you don't really notice an issue, but as a new player I can say that this is really overwhelming. I want to catch up and it's basically required of me to run 100000000 of the same interception over and over again. Since I'm new, I have to farm out enough ducats to get the primed mods every 10 days (since I don't have any spare prime parts laying around), I have to farm cores like crazy. You've been adding so many things to this game but haven't alleviated the core grind at all. I don't think I'll ever be able to max a primed mod just because I haven't even gotten around to finishing up the literal basic mods.

The game has great assets and a lot of cool things that could be done but all I'm really doing is spamming the most efficient way of leveling up all my new things (Cerberus?), tower missions over and over again to build up ducats and parts for new weapons and mods, and core farming. I rarely have used one frame for very long after getting it to 30. I haven't used any new guns since I got the Synoid Gammacor (Once I max out all my primaries I'll probably switch to the Boltor Prime to level up all my secondaries).

I just don't understand why you'd turn something so potentially fun into this.
