Cosmic Exploration is CASUAL content with a pinch of midcore

[...]Players are just far too used to coming home from work on a patch day, and all the macros and resources being readily published for copying in-game, and because they aren't as widely published, people are just blowing it a bit out of proportion, tbh.

Furthermore, even if people can't figure out what they're supposed to do, there are literally dozen other doing the same thing in the instance. Like, ask around? The instances I've been in are generally friendly enough people regularly answer questions.

All these 'macros not working!!!' honestly brings up the question: do you (general you) even know why XYZ macro works or are you just copying homeworks?

The worst part is if people asked questions, like "How are you progressing your relic? What missions are you doing", and literally many people would jump in and help, many may even be inclined to give macros to help with it, or a resource that they are using. I would literally do the same on this forum in this thread, but some people are more concerned with thinking the content is wrong, too hardcore, too try hard, or whatever.. Than what they are with actually asking questions

To be honest, a lot of this issue is just compounded by guides more often taking the path of least resistance rather than trying to convey how the actions interact with each other, which in many respects I understand, but it is a major contributor to these all these issues happening with Cosmic... People for the past several years have googled "Levelling guide", and in most instances all you get is macros. I get that the onus is on the player to ask why or figure out the actions, but guides compound this issue massively.
