The portal that opens every 30 minutes is a total waste of grind time. Each day I average ~40 buds buts for some insidious reason, those chests are rigged to give the minimum amount.
You get a chest with 4-6 buds in it every 20 kills. They tell you to go to Moon Refuge to farm Buds. Why pray tell me is the grind so ridiculously insane for new players? I've watched the 'New Player' guides and they're not all that helpful.
Why am I not allowed to progress at the bare minimum solo? Why am I forced to group with randos? I can only do 1 of the 2 a day and ALL the others force you to need 5 other people. Its been 2 weeks and I've finished 0 dailies. I'm having a hard time with endgame progression.
