The light level grind is definitely a killer its just tedious,should've doubled/tripled the rewards until your at 400 THEN it becomes harder and ALL content should have been updated with the portal system not just portions of the game. (like how are you gonna half -blam!- a foundational change 10 years into your flagship and ONLY franchise that makes you money). Weapons legit haven't changed as far as structure so imo the "new" weapons "overhaul" is legit entirely pointless it unironically only makes most people wish crafting was back to soften the grind, cause its just T2 in terms of weapon capabilities and if you want T4/5 you were gonna go for them anyways. The armor grind is fine makes sense to update it after so long but shouldn't be gated beyond a empty grind.
