I came back after a long break (didn't buy EoF) and so far the changes are uninteresting. At least Arms Week and the portal actually give me a somewhat straightforward thing to do each day now even if that something is monotonous. I don't care about grinding for new weapons because my existing raid adepts are fine and my old armor transitioned well enough to still be have viable stats, so I don't really care about that grind either.
I'll likely take another long break after getting to 200 and unlocking Sharpshooter though, there's just nothing interesting here.
