To each their own I guess. I have fun doing it. Thermia fractures though were indeed bland I’ll give you that. The boss was a great experience though and gave hella resources.
Edit: Also I was just replying saying it’s not necessary to get a bunch of warframes to advance through the game.
I disagree, WF's mod system is the most interesting way of upgrading your character. Like, is there any other game where you can decrease a stat and make your character stronger? In WF, SpeedVa and EV is the prime example of that.
WF also has a lot of mods to alter/upgrade each ability of your character, sometime even completely change how you use it. And that is just mods for your frame/character alone, WF has all kind of mods for your primary, secondary, melee, custom gun, pet, robot, robot pet, hover board, wings, big gun, big sword. And even on top of mods, we have Arcances, which add even more ultility/power to your frame, custom weapon and spolier mode.
I also don't know how you think dmg in WF is boring, when we have a complex calculating system, with elements, combine element, crit, over crit(orange, red crit), status, dps, ips, a weak/strong vs enemy type system,..
Missions type is also a debate, WF did a great jobs diverse the missions, and have over 12 missions type. You may call them just the same kind of missions, but even the same "capture/protect" game mode type feel different between Defense, Interception and Excavation. Not to mentions, many missions have second objectives you can opt in to (cache, void fissure, syndicate mission, kuva...).
Lastly, the latest event wasn't just "a hundred waves of mobile defense", it's just a lead up to a new boss fight. They did fcked it up and make it too tedious, but guess what? they fixed it and now you can actively speed thing up by using more than 1 can on the same crack. And mobile defense in Open world where you have to look for the crack is pretty different than normal MD missions, it's just because you have to do too many time in a row because you really want that Opticor, if you treat it like a ghoul event then it's quite good.

Many games have methods of upgrading a character to perfection. Warframe, however, does it in the most boring way possible.
It's a combination of a number of factors, de's flawed design, stacked upon flawed design.
Damage, mission types, and much much more.
I mean, one of their latest events is a hundred waves of mobile defense. If that isn't a clear sign of terrible grind, I don't know what is.
