In Warframe, you can work with other teams in Operation Scarlet Spear to slow down the Sentient invasion. There are rewards for this, as is to be expected. But whoever wants them all has to be persistent. Even Warframe veterans find it too persistent.
A player calculated how much effort it took to unlock these rewards. He came to the conclusion that one Play for at least four hours for a single event weapon must – provided you always get the maximum number of points in a run. Most players will have to spend a lot more time doing this.
Too much of the grind thanks to Operation Scarlet Spear
It's no secret that Warframe is a grind game. It is not for nothing that many users spend thousands of hours in the title. And in itself, this is not a problem for fans either, because the free co-op shooter offers a lot of content that is usually very rewarding and motivating. Now, according to the community, Digital Extremes has "crossed a line."
Many users find that Warframe is currently feel more like work and less like a game. Reddit user SpartanG01 – who calls himself the game's fan boy – therefore loses harsh words about Warframe. According to it, Operation Scarlet Spear is "the worst game experience in Warframe" he has ever had. His key message: he does not want a »Warframe: the career«. And for him the event is just the tip of the iceberg.
The number of upvotes of his contribution shows that he is not alone with this opinion. Within just ten hours, more than 3,400 other users agreed. A clear indication that the community is dissatisfied with the recent changes to Warframe

Warframe has too many features: players are demanding improvements
Developers responded to the criticism with hotfixes
The developer is not sitting around idly, but already addresses the community criticism of the event itself with hotfixes. This changed the calculation of the victory points that you get when you successfully drive back the enemy Murex ships.
Previously, they were dependent on their own rank in a fleet. Now they are calculated based on the highest number of points personally achieved. However, the changes are not enough for the players. They still find that "their time is not appreciated enough".

@kawaraban_japanQuo vadis warframe? I have to admit: I myself am not a big fan of lengthy grind either. Warframe was able to captivate me anyway and is currently the title with which I have spent most of my time by far in my 26 years of video game experience.
But lately the game seems to be wavering: I'm really happy about the announcements from Lichen and Railjack, only to have to say afterwards that the final content is rather disappointing. Sure: there are always patches that take community criticism to heart. But in the end, they are more like a hastily glued plaster on open wounds.
Because the real potential of this content always falls by the wayside. Instead of expanding this, the team immediately fires the next content and the cycle "update, player criticism, patch, next update …" starts again. Quality over quantity should be Warframe's motto. I don't want endless content, I want good content.
