I'm glad we can agree grindy doesn't equal hard. I'm not necessarily salty about my experience in the game, as much as people who say there were no issues with it and people who didn't like it weren't worth playing with if they couldn't get past "a filter"

If I'd had friends or been able to connect with people and get past the Dunes, I probably would have played the game for years.

Forcing party play to continue that early was probably a design decision that hurt the game for many new players.
