Cosmic Exploration is Bad

I mean, that's fine, that's just crafting and gathering in a nutshell largely. Hit the same macro over and over and over.. Hit the same sequential actions over and over just to make some recipes.

Im just saying ofc many just fall back on macros cause thats the only way you stay sane lol

It just sucks being really invested once you realize the crapton of bots and cheaters there, playing the MB game is like hitting my head against an brickwall....

Well, yeah, that's fair, I just wouldn't complain that my macro can't 100% something to get me gold, when it quite literally isn't in the parameters to do so, e.g., high multipliers/factors, insufficient stats or whatever. If you want to macro it, run wild, enjoy your silver or gold on certain other recipes, literally all there is to it... Just don't expect gold if your macro doesn't allow it or if you're not up to doing it manual. Nothing wrong with that.

This last point I can relate to, but honestly this speaks as much to crafting and gathering as a whole, rather than the Cosmic system itself (And SEs hands-off nature involving anything third-party).. and this is also what happens when Square Enix elect to completely gut an ability suite in favor of uniformity and macro usage, especially when your only random factor abilities boil down to Rapid Synthesis and Hasty Touch.... This is why any given piece of content will only be as fun as the ability suite supporting it, in this case crafting abilities.

I've said it a thousand times and I'll say it 1001 times... Whistle While you Work needs to come back, it removed the whole "Bash your head against a wall, and rewarded more of the ability to just simply play a little minigame.
