But there's one difference between us regarding the mindset. My mindset is "try it out, and when it sucks, just stop doing it". Your mindset seems to be "Read about it, and when I get the feeling I can't do it to 100%, don't even start".

For example, I went into CE, did some crafting, all goes well. Then up comes a recipe where my workpiece suddenly takes on some states I've never seen before. In the forums I learned that this is nothing special, expert recipes do this for years. Ok. Obviously, I never did an expert recipe before, since I never saw this stuff before. "Screw this sh**, I'm not going to learn 20 new states to finish this ***". And I was gone in no time.

Couple of days later I decided to give it another try. This time I found out that my tool experience bar (or however it is called) can be filled, even if I get only bronze state on a mission. Guess what? I never used a Touch action again, just finish every piece ASAP, and level up my tool. I do a couple of quests per day, get my 1000 Lunar currency for the daily mech ride or gambling, and have fun.

I will never score gold on all the missions, I will never finish CE to 100%. And I don't care, it's just a nice little side activity to me. And this is all it should be IMO.
