When the answer to some people's troubles was "just pentameld bro, lol" in nearly every topic about the difficulty, you can't really blame some people for having the perception that Cosmic Exploration was another false bridge like Chaotic Raid was. And it's not just crafting either, people seem to take umbrage with how gathering works in the mode too because of node distance and GP replenishment. Was that also player error and not a content one?
Exactly to the point. The contents are all easy to solve for me. Just inform yourself and get started! I couldn't cope with the many stumbling blocks in terms of operation. It was pure stress for me. I was constantly being led astray by the quest and user guidance, which meant that valuable seconds were lost.

My solution: After three days I gave up, annoyed. I took 10 million gil and bought a mount, companions, music rolls and clothing on the market. I make this amount in two to three weeks while playing the game. In the German forum, I explained the many errors in the new exploration system in detail and had to listen again to how easy this content is. The required skill is not a problem for me! The quirks stressed me out!

It's a shame, because I would have liked to have all the Kosmo tools and relax in my free time.

An example: There is no test synthesis for optimizing macros. The material is provided. I have to produce this and plan to fail at first. And after three attempts, the quest fails. Start a new quest? No, that's not possible. It disappears from the offer and only reappears later.
