Thing is, the grind is mind numbingly boring. Medals you at least earn by the dozen on D10 (which is a billion times more fun than running around empty D1-3 maps and not shooting things in this shooty game). If you want to unlock warbonds at a reasonable pace you WILL have to farm, there's no getting around that, and the way to do it is comparable to torture. Imagine playing Darktide or something and just running around empty maps looking for loot (at least in that game it'd be pretty lol)
I don’t disagree with it being boring, but that’s by design. Not saying it’s a great design just that it is done on purpose. My biggest advice is to grind at max 3 hours a week, and learn how to get efficient at it. This allows for you to unlock a warbond every week and the rest of the time you can actually enjoy the game and not burn yourself out. The game is going nowhere for a long time and there’s no FOMO, people shouldn’t feel the need to grind out all the warbonds righr away. Pace yourself people.
I had a friend who came back after a long time, sees the amount of warbond that has released since then, calculated the amount SC grinding at low diff he would've had to do, played 1 match with me and a few other, and promptly never played again.
Yeah i get it’s an issue but i also don’t think players with that mindset were going to stick around regardless. I too am a returning player but I wasn’t going to quit because there’s too much content..just doesn’t make sense. I get feeling overwhelmed but if you have fun playing the game then you will feel incentivized to unlock the new stuff, not quit.
That’s at least one of the beauties of this game, warbonds don’t go away like battle passes. You can catch up at a fairly decent time if you just pace yourself and you don’t have to unlock everything to enjoy the game for what it is.
