You, Tenno, are a role model to most of us. In the process of what many players refer to as “The Grind", we tend to forget why we started playing in the first place.

In my case, I picked up Warframe because of its interesting mechanics, and unique theme. I never actually planned on getting anywhere beyond Saturn, all I wanted to do was pick up a cute grenade launcher or boomerang and go bust some heads. It was enjoyable, it was fun.

Many months later, Warframe is starting to look less of a game and more of a job, at least to a large percentage of the player population. It's almost always the same cycle. The same ''vicious cycle. ''Go to the Recruiting chat, find a T3 Survival Squad, go to the T3 Survival, last an hour and a half, no good rewards,    go to another T3 Survival, last an hour and a half, no good rewards...

It's just not FUN anymore. I notice that about half an hour in, my brain starts to doze off. I don't pay any attention to what's happening on screen any more, it's not worth my attention. I just spam my melee key and walk forward. This is unfortunately a problem in many RPGs, because if you want to improve, YOU HAVE TO GRIND. It WILL get boring, it WILL get tiring, it WILL get annoying.

After going through farming periods like this, many players feel that "Warframe needs to fix its RNG!", "Droprates are broken!", "Fix this unfair sh**!!!!" and so on and so forth. In fact, just a little way below this essay you '''can see people complaining. '''Quite a few, actually.

Sometimes, you have to remember there is more to Warframe than the Void and all its golden glory. This is a game about TENNO. This is a game about WARFRAMES. About open environments, Kubrow puppies, reflex tests, black hole launchers, making friends online and giving your Warframes eye-cancer-inducing color schemes.

This game is NOT ONLY about Prime parts and Void Keys and "The Grind".

Thank you for remembering that.

Warframe is a game. It means that you are supposed to have FUN while playing Warframe. I'm glad you do, because so do I!
