Nope, like proper little lemmings you all preach about decency, like the devs are altruists and we've FAILED THEM!! This forum is comic gold.

SE must love you all so much. They'll be able to keep you subbed and entertained in a negative feedback loop forever; just spending your time farming less time.
So wait, you're saying that SE has added a machination to waste your time for no benefit -- that is, the Resistance weapon grind -- and that there's no effort/reward loop? I'm confused. Why are you doing it if you don't enjoy it?

And yes, the Resistance weapons are pointless. The expansion is over. It's been over for months. All you're doing with the resistance weapon is either getting glamour -- something with no functional value outside of what you make of the visuals, OR you're gearing up for the next expansion -- which means you're spending all of this time to save... what, maybe a cumulative 5 minutes in Endwalker? You know these weapons are going to be completely useless by 85, maybe 86 at the latest.
