While most games like this require a daily grind through required tasks to get all of of the daily bonuses and prizes, NONE take nearly as long as STFC. This has got to be the most grueling slog out there. In Marvel's Strike Force, I can get through my daily tasks in about 10 minutes. In Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes, it's about the same. With STFC, you have to send a mining ship out to mine increasing amounts of materials. They higher your level, the more you have to mine. You have to defeat increasingly higher levels of hostiles and enemy factions the higher your level. This wouldn't be such a terrible problem if they didn't make the enemy factions so difficult that you had to repair your ships after every few battles. Add to that, everything takes a really long time ... everything. To mine all of the materials I need to get, my miner has to work for about 6 hours per day, all the while exposed to PVP attacks. Repairing my ship now takes 4 hours. Upgrading base components takes between 2 and 6 DAYS. Defeating all of the hostiles I need to defeat daily takes a couple of hours. There is NO AUTOPLAY functionality in the game. It's all manual. All of the events are geared toward more advanced players, so I'll start an event only to realize that I need to be about 10 levels higher to beat the first enemy. Honestly, I thought that the higher my level in the game, the more fun this game might be, but Scopely has found increasingly sadistic ways to make it more of a slog, more grueling and less fun. I'm at Level 30 now, and I'm just about to quit. This is just not a fun game anymore. I do not recommend it to anyone with a job. If you've got 8 hours to sit on your butt and waste your time grinding your way through a game EVERY SINGLE DAY, I'd recommend maybe World of Warcraft. It's more rewarding. So great job, Scopely. You've found a way to ruin a wonderful universe and a decent game concept.
