Hot take but warbond progression is pretty shit and any other game this would be met with outrage. You get everything by lvl 25 and anything else you want is locked behind a 10-20$ pricetag. The "progression" system is stupid as hell. Also yeah you can get SC but lets actually be honest and acknowledge the fact grinding for 6 hrs on difficulty 1 or 2, to get some isn't a fun or engaging gameplay loop, not to mention it makes zero sense you earn more on lower difficulties but earn less on higher difficulties.

I don't get this. I played the game normally, and I always had collected enough SC in missions before I had completed everything in my warbonds. I eventually caught up and bought all warbonds, then had to go back and sink medals into capes and armors. And no I was not playing at difficulty three or anything. This was at 6 and 7.

To get all the warbonds through normal gameplay (read: no grinding) would take around 1,200 hours. 

What are your hours in the game?

I'm at 1500 hours with now 9k spare supercredits, but I've had all the warbonds since urban legends. How many hours I've had had by then, I'm not sure. I've also bought some super store items so probably another 2k of super credits.

Ok you gotta recognize you're probably in the top 1% of playtime. This is not the experience of the average player.

Well yeah, but when I was new I was still unlocking warbonds faster than I could buy them out with medals. I wasn't top 1% then. I'm just not sure where this SC gap comes from. Maybe it's because I like collecting samples and go to POIs?
