Haha, thanks for your concern. I might be new to this forum, not to gaming forums per se. And I don't need the forums to sour my mood, DT itself already did a good job on that part.

I read through the "OC sucks" threads, and the vast majority of people do not complain about the grind, but about its randomness. Which I think is a very valid criticism - when you play with friends or your SO, and you yourself finish the grind in 10 hours, while the others just got 5% of what they need in the same time, there is no way this will make any of you feel good. Which should have been clear from the beginning, and therefore never been in the game.

Brushing this sort of valid criticism aside with a simple "players complain about the grind" sounds dishonest in my ears.
