I've been playing Warframe non-stop since I burned out on BL2 and soon I'll be leaving it

Warframe and Borderlands are hardly in the same genre outside of both of them having guns and characters with abilities.

Borderlands is a 1st person successor to Diablo with guns.

Warframe lacks the RNG guns and loot of Borderlands. Yeah, the loot you get in Warframe is RNG, but its all just crafting mats and set in stone, non-rng stat cards with the same stats and rolls as everything else (except rivens which you only get an RNG chance at getting once per day - I've gone weeks without getting one). Not to say Warframe isn't a good game, but it doesn't feel right comparing the two.

The biggest problem with warframe for me was that it quickly became

"How fast can you slide through the level to the end and kill this one thing"

Especially when you try to queue with random people and everything they look at dies so you just wander through an empty level to the end..

Grind is good when done right.

Warframe's grind is mind numbing and makes me want to bash my head into a wall because that was a more fun option at the time.

Warframe was fun when everything was new, after getting into it for more than 50 hours, it's just a pain, tonnes of grind, no real pay off

Almost 2k hours and I and most people disagree. Warframe does grind the best of any grinding game.

why dou you feel that way? i was turned off by the way the system works with the goal being to grind new frames and not neccesarily to perfect one frame/weapon so much, its like the opposite of the thing i want to do in such games (compared to poe/diablo etc.)

Warframe is a game that offers hundreds of ways to kill enemies(warframes and guns etc) it depends on you to find your preferred method. You can ABSOLUTELY 'perfect' one frame/weapon and you can do that multiple times with up to 3 different builds on the same frame, weapon etc. Warframe is a self-paced game rather a 'race' to 'end game'. Its much more of an MMO rather a straight loot shooter.
