Well said. This game used to be really exciting farming teams in about 90 day cycles. Now the new team is 6 maybe 12 months away unless you have a stockpile of kryos or are willing to go the crystal route.
A veteran who quit in 2018 recently returned to the game and was amazed how much "slower" progression had become.
Did they give any perspective on what they mean?
There are more places/ways to get gear now than in 2018. I'm not sure how anyone could say progress is slower. They have added more avenues to follow, but focused progression is definitely faster.
Because it is slower. Getting characters to G10-11 may be faster now with focused progression but that gear level isn't at all viable in most content now.
Maxing out a character is 2018 meant much less than it does now with G12 and relics and does indeed take longer - especially when the stungun bottleneck has been unaddressed for however long.
Any veteran player getting to g13, r3 is quick and easy, and 5 or even up to 7 on toons that deserve it is not bad. Check out people posting F2P progress on GLs. People are making that progress at a good pace.
Getting to g13 on a targeted farm is not that hard of a process right now.
Again, I understand the breadth has changed on a few aspects, but as far as getting a focused toon, or a single team to a viable level, it is quicker than it was, especially for a veteran who will have a stock of mats to convert for relics. The problem now is more that a single team doesnt really mean much beyond arena.
