The system we got is basically a battle pass system. It's meant to incentivize logging in consistantly which warframe has always technically had, but not enough to actually keep a lot of people doing anything other than arbitrarily logging in for their daily login tick.

The new system has actual incentives to play the game, even if it's just for a short amount. The notion of it being a "standing grind" is just a faux, because it's only standing in-name-only. The point is that a lot of the earned rewards are, at least as far as we can tell, timed exclusives to this "season." Thus, if you want them, you HAVE to play challenges during this season.

If they just gave everyone Wolf Creds and inflated the prices, not only would the grind aspect be far more apparent and people would complain about the lack of reward, but there wouldn't be anything stopping people from just playing until they get the very specific things they want and then not logging on again until the next season starts.
