Genuinely, to those who dislike the factory gameplay, why are you still playing?
Every few days or so, the sub gets another post about someone hating the factory, or disliking it for X and Y reasons, or even those who hope it would go away and I'm always perplexed by this.
Endfield is the only gacha game that has part of its focus to be a factory sim, why are you guys here? Yes, you can copy blueprints to have someone do it for you, but you'd have to have realized that by cutting off one of the bigger parts of the game you're effectively neutering your experience.
It reminds me of the discourse when it comes to Final Fantasy 14, the MMO that has part of its focus on telling a story. After more than a decade, the wider MMO community had eased into a consensus that while FF14 is a great game even if you didn't enjoy the story, you shouldn't be playing it if you're just going to skip it as you're just not getting the full package.
There are other games that cater to the experience you're looking for. So why are you playing Endfield? I toss the question especially to those who want it to change, no more events like the recent gourd event, no more focus on the factory... Why? Why aren't you just playing something that already fits your criteria of play?
