Cosmic Exploration is Bad

I honestly like the challenge, using macros all the time is boring and I'm having a fun time doing them, I have learned to use abilities in ways I never had before so this will help me in the future :3

Good for you, I've never used a macro as they don't work on gathering. But thank you for missing the entire point of what this thread has been about.

Woah, who took a dump in your bowl of Cheerios this morning? I realized my tiny mistake but you didn't have to be rude about it. Are you always this rude to everyone? You're being rude to everyone that was trying to offer help, no wonder you have little friends acting like a manchild.


I was going to offer you tips on how you can gear up that is easy and affordable while leveling up but with your childish antics, you can go kick rocks. It's not my fault you ran to the MB first before trying to find ways to gear up without spending any Gil even if you just tried looking at the right place :/


Like Supersnow845 said, go to Reddit if you want to vent and fish for sympathy and attention.

You were never going to try and "help". You were hear to dogpile with the other 4 people claiming that there's nothing wrong with Cosmic Explorations at all and try to pretend like it's the most perfect content in the game.

I've spent 14 pages dealing with people like you, my patience is gone and I just don't care to be nice to people like you anymore who assume that the problem is me and that I just don't know how to play my class, because the problem couldn't possibly be the content itself. Never mind the fact that my complaints are the same as just about every other person who is a casual gatherer player and who wants a casual way to level their gatherers.

And if you and the other white knight don't want to deal with people complaining, just don't read those threads and move on and keep your "help" to yourself.

The problem isn't cosmic exploration, its you wanting everything spoonfed to you in easy mode.

Edit: Yes I do realise DOL exist, I maxed all relics in 7 days (Though I took 2 days off between crafter and gatherer so I guess 5)

I’d really like if BTN and MNR got better GP control that was actually integrated into their rotation, like rather than starting a mission or ending contact with a node fully restoring GP what if MNR/BTN had a skill that functions sorta like thaliak’s favour.

Every hit of a node with 1000 collectibility generates one stack of “in tune with nature” and you can consume stacks to restore GP. You could also make it so every proc of gatherers boon had a chance to generate a stack as well

Square Enix consistently provides plenty of challenging content for raiders, while casual players only get a few hours of gameplay with each update. Now, Cosmic Exploration has only made this problem worse. For me, the main issue isn’t the difficulty level. What really ruined the fun in Cosmic Exploration were the constant stumbling blocks and frustrations throughout the activity. There should be two ways to earn all rewards: raiders can obtain them more quickly, while casual players can also achieve them with more patience and time. This would be fair to both groups.

But there already is

If you want the rewards slowly then simply do B ranks + red alerts, that literally achieve everything

Plus raiders and hardcore crafters don’t necessarily overlap, just because you are an Omni casual doesn’t mean everyone is casual at everything

I think C.E could have been handled a lot better. I personally find it extremely boring, as well as overall very uninteresting to look at.

Also, I think if someone makes a thread to critique something, it's very obnoxious to have to read people suddenly running in to defend it who wouldn't have said a single word about it otherwise. Of course you can like it, but please go make a "I love this thing!" thread instead. It's very annoying how every single time without fail whenever people are trying to discuss problems with this game, others come running in to collectively hallucinate that the entire topic is wrong, and then derail about their own personal feelings. Again, if you feel so strongly that something is doing great, by all means please go make a "this is great!" thread and agree with each other there about how great it is. but please don't specifically wait until someone comes to talk about something being wrong to suddenly want to come clamor in to drown out valid points with your thoughts on how everything is great actually, which ultimately have nothing to do with the main topic. WAY too much flies under the radar with this game entirely because of how hard some of you defend every single little thing no matter how bad it is. I promise you don't have to reply 50 times defending the games honor-we all still play it, relax. but we're still allowed to critique it too.

Except there is almost nobody here going “oh my god shut up the content is perfect” it’s people puzzled that this person is struggling so hard with easy missions and trying to offer him help but instead he just screams we are all mean and unhelpful

Almost nobody is denying that GP regenerates too slow, gatherers achieve cosmic points too slowly relative to the crafters who are easier and more AFK’able, aetherial reduction is too slow on missions that have a time limit, some elements of gear progression are pointlessly opaque.

Cosmic has its fair share of problems that disproportionately affect the gatherers but there is a difference between complaining about them and failing D ranks at level 97 and declaring the content is the worst thing ever when you won’t even explain why you are failing D ranks at 97
