Yes, it's a surprisingly deep rabbit hole.
I don't know about that. I just feel like when it comes to trend-chasing, this was one of those things Warframe could probably do without.
i can understand that, yeah. Honestly, I think it's a neat addition which serves as something else to do, speaking a someone who has nearly 3k hours in the game. It's enough on its own for the first 1.5k hours, but then the grind slowly started getting to me, at least. Adding more depth to the character interactions can always only ever be a good thing.
I do agree with you that the trend chasing tendency is pretty dangerous, and I get that distinct feeling they still rushed it a bit [edges sanded off too abruptly, some points in the flow feel jagged, people hate your guts if you tell them you won't leave them (in a positive way), etc.], and my main fear is it ending up like pretty much every other branch, kinda' like toys forgotten in the sandbox.
Personally, I would've thought of a way to deepen the mechanics, meaning build upon what's already there instead of further widening the spreadsheet of buffs and unrelated activities. And I will never shut up about how the Railjack is just begging to be used more...
I have about 2500 hours in the game, so I feel you when it comes to "something else to do".
As you said, the Railjack would probably have been a better place to add more content to. I know a lot of people hate on it, but personally, I grew up on Conflict: Freespace and such, I enjoy the Railjack as a little throwback to those games.
It has such potential! The mechanics they added are already everything one needs to create some awesome operations! Imho, I'd also polish the mechanics up a bit, like remove the rolling rubber bands and add more mass to the Railjack itself (this last one was the first thing a friend remarked when playing at release, and I agree).
Either way, every single thread could do with more fleshing out, it'd make the world feel less like a super-wide puddle and more like a cohesive, evolving thing.
The worst thing GTAO did (other than the griefing and Shark Cards) was not evolving the world with time. Staring at those construction yards which have not changed in over a decade pulls me out of the world entirely.
