Alright, alot of people don't like the new changes. I have found a solution. Character Types would be a great way to handle this situation with the arguments with "Take away missions!" and "No missions are great!" When creating your character and you pass tutorial, you would get prompted with the pop-up and text box (To prevent accidentally choosing wrong type.) saying to type either "Mission" or "Arcade". I for one like this idea, if you choose Mission, you can use the missions to progress through the game as is. But with arcade, you have traditional methods, you must go into arcade with your proto gear and earn all of your items rather than earning them for people who say it's too easy. With this, I'd play more. I find it a bit dull and too easy not having to farm arcade for recipes, rather than doing a mission and having almost every recipe there for you.
That is all.
