All they needed to do was add combat stuff to the new Cosmic Exploration planets

Title.

But honestly, I love the planets added in CE, but it's a shame they have no combat content on them whatsoever. That's 4 entire new (rather big) zones that only gatherers will explore (and crafters during red alerts/mechops) while combat jobs had to wait 3 full patches (7.25 -> 7.55) for a one (1) new combat zone added.

Maybe I'm overthinking it and it's not really wasteful in the grand scheme of things if CE will remain as "the way to train crafting/gathering" for the foreseeable future.

This games insistence that combat and crafted content must be separate is just such a monumental waste of resources and potential.

There is for sure an opportunity for there to be some combat and even bridge the two things together, by having crafter/gatherers make things for those that are battling.

What is also wasteful to me though is there being no life. It's been teased we'll find something or other this time, but if we do, it's a bit too little too late, where we've gone through all these planets building things for... no result, nothing, no life, no civilizations.

And of course, without life, there'd be less opportunity for battling. Maybe ancient robots or something at best.

More like the one thing that prevents both from becoming a giant slog for anyone who hates crafting or wants to just craft in peace.

Buddy, 99% of crafting these days is just absent minded macros whilst watching Netflix and pretending that you're actually 'playing'.

Besides, even if you wanted to craft in peace, there's literally nothing that prevents them from satisfying this need.

Edit: They don't even need to make both avenues mandatory, they can just have artisan/gatherer specific objectives, and on the other spectrum have battle-related objectives, then people can pick how they want to interact with it.

Crafters are already just hanging out inside of the hub of whatever planet they're on and not exploring the outskirts. I doubt combat jobs doing FATEs around the map will disturb their peace.

Asking for combat in the crafting and gathering zone?

I hope they have a deep dungeon in the cosmic locked behind clearing all Cosmic Exploration zones

[LeCorbeaux]

As long as they also add gatherer and crafter stuff to all the dungeons and PvP zones...
