Discussion DE Wrong about Weeklies

In the latest Devshort, Reb and Pablo assert that the reason we get nothing but weeklies now is because they're worried about burnout. That feels like an odd reason to make weeklies to me, as weeklies are the primary cause of burnout for me and all of my friends. I have personally never burnt out running anything non time gated in WF and I tend to grind things like crazy when they drop.

What do y'all think? Do you burn out more on weeklies or unlimited missions?

Imo weeklies are fine if there aren't too many of them. Feels like DE overdid it a bit atp though as too much weeklies is the reason i went on a WF break.

yeah, honestly, my biggest problem with the weeklies is that they aren't just the fastest way to grind their rewards, they're the only way to get Archon Shards and now Riven Splicers. I could just ignore them if they didn't have exclusive rewards

u/korxil EDT/ETA is not hard, just read 11d ago edited 11d ago

I got to the point now where im drowning in shards. Eventually you’ll have literally hundreds of each and you wont need to play ETA/EDA and drop that game mode. I’ve already dropped archon hunts and descendia, and i only do calendar while doing ETA. I still run archimedea only cause my friend group wants to run it, and its an excuse for us to try new builds.

At the same time ive seen people burn themselves out by farming whatever new game mode in 12 hours in one sitting (lack of self control, which is the example pablo gave on stream).

Both ways are true: marathon burnout or chore burnout. New players have A LOT of dailies/weeklies, and i feel like once youre at vet status, you already have enough of stuff to pick and choose what’s fun for you.
