I have 230 hours logged into this game. I have 8 of the 16 glyphs. 3 days ago I had 0. The ONLY reason I have that many is I spent the last 20 in game hours warping, go to space station, find traveler? No. Warp again, go to space station. Find traveler? No. Repeat this process until finally after an hour or 3 you find the traveler. Find his grave, get 1 glyph.

I also get the space suit inventory upgrade, and the one from the annomoly. Only recently found out you can get suit tech slots expanded the same way.

Now my usual thoughts is that warping for the sake of finding travelers/upgrades goes against the whole foundation of this game. But I just got someone new into this game, and I KNOW she isn't going to find the 16 glyphs fast. I hadn't made any attempt to get them, and I hadn't found one in 190 hours.

My only hope is to do the glyph finding fast on my own, and hopefully she can send me a picture of her glyphs using her cell phone. Then I can come to her.

But I don't feel bad for cheating like that, when EVERYTHING in this game is a grind.

It’s easy to forget that these things are called games for a reason. Play. Have fun.

If it’s entertaining you, and not giving you an unfair advantage over other players, then relax and enjoy yourself. It’s not like you’re using an aimbot in PvP or something.

Well....thats the thing. I'm NOT enjoying this method.

But I also don't want to wait 400 hours of someone else who's casually playing the game to find glyphs.

So I want to get this done within a week.

Have you thought about simply not, and then just going and playing a game you'll actually enjoy instead?

What you're doing sounds like work—IDK about you but I have a personal policy against working for free—especially if you're not even enjoying the work.

Well, good luck! I hope it goes as fast as possible!
