As a Diadem enjoyer, I find the Cosmic Exploration incredibly tedious (for the most part).

I'm not a fan of the levequest style content. Having to travel to each location to press two buttons to start a 3min timer then two more buttons to collect my reward after running across the small area to three different node spawn locations is frustrating.

If I want to do another levequest I have to click two buttons to figure out if I'm in the right spot or six more (maximum) because they change up order of the list.

I understand they included 'Stellar Sprint' but I would have really liked access to my mounts / flying to make it easier to get from one place to another instead of being land-locked to the 'teleports'.

It really just compounds the tedium of the whole experience.

I will give credit where it's due, I don't so much mind the fates. They're a nice change up to the gathering formula.

Ultimately though, I much prefer the more relaxed nature of 'pick up and go' that the Diadem provides. Just pick a class, pick the direction, go collect and turn in your items whenever you're ready.

I understand it's not for everyone but it's definitely a much more relaxed style of content that I really appreciate.
