Or, another avenue to get Planet specific armors and/or weapons. Its all how you look at it. If you look at it as another avenue to gain items as opposed to just a grind then it feels better. Case in point i play this game for fun, as i do with most games, except this one i get rewards for certain activities, so its like a bonus. If you are not having fun playing a game its time to pack up and move on, because it will never get better for you.
