As you said, it's a ridiculous but fun to a point. Hunting Terras is good, great when you get a team that can capture 5+ in one night. And each capture can yeild 20+ intact, 8+ exceptional, a flawless, a shard and a brilliant. But when getting from rank 3 to 4 which I'm still on requires 70,000 standing (700 intact cores, 140 excpetional cores, 58.33334 flawless ( or 58 flawless and 4 intacts to number crunch))  and then after that 4 to 5 is 99000 ( 990 intacts, 198 exceptionals,  82.5 flawless (or 82 flawless, 1 intact, 1 exceptional), the grind is ABSURD.

Sure the Quills are only accessible after War Within but how many players outside the one who have reached high mastery rank ( 18+ lets say, at this point you can use anything in game ) are actively aiming to get everything the Quills have to offer? At rank 3, you have access to magus vigor, virtuous fury and the T2 amps. With 1 full set of vigor, you have 450 health, with 2, 650, with Vazarin way bounds, 1125 off 450 health and 1625 off 650 health. Pretty much one you reach rank 3 you have the best stuff available outside of the max rank arcanes that heal your warframe. It's makes your operator powerful, but limits your frames survivability (not like we need more at this point really) unless running quick thinking and zenurik or (cue laughter) unairu and its 20% armor bonus.

BUT

Once again as you said, a ridiculous grind, but a fun one since taking Terras is satisfying.

I feel like I strayed off point a few times there.
