My biggest gripe with Cosmic Exploration is the lack of actual exploration. I honestly enjoy it for the most part, even if it is essentially the same gameplay loop in each zone. I just wish there was more interaction with each planet. I thought the artifacts would give us that, and it just being a reskin of Accursed Hoard for crafters and gatherers was such an utter disappointment. I figured we'd at least get a lore book of sorts like the field ops do. There just needs to be more to tie players to those planets and make them feel like there's a reason why they're there and not somewhere else doing the same content.

I do wonder if doing OC + CE at the same time was a bit more than they could chew, so both are suffering for it ultimately. I do feel like maybe we should have gotten three zones for each instead of 4 for CE and 2 for OC and had them staggered.
