Definitely agree, they're very stressful. Especially, if they only come around once every 3 months.
On the other hand though, these difficult journeys are showing players the importance of good modding. The players that struggle the most are the one that aren't using guides and don't have the mods to cope with the event. Hopefully, this helps players to learn more about their modding policy choices.
On the whole though, I do agree. I dread journey unlocks; they are distinctly unfun, which shouldn't be the case.
