I like games to be a chore on my terms. Will I grind for a mirror in path of exile, yes. Will I complete a battle pass, do my daily quests and get my log in bonus? Fuck off.

Yeah this is me. Tell me "Find 10/25 Bloblins in the area to continue" and I get upset, but instead tell me "There are 25 Bloblins on this map", and if there's an cool optional prize with it then you bet I'll spend time scouring the map for Bloblins.

I enjoy things the most when I can set the goals with just some hinting from the game. If it's just something trying to manufacture attention to the game it's a big turn-off.
