>not jumping at the opportunity to help a friend catch up to them while grabbing lots of low level materials in the process
your friends are bitches. I helped a buddy of mine jump from research level 1 to ~70 in like one or two hours the other day while explaining to him everything I could about the afflicted system and grind (on his request). he hasn't played in a bit but I hope he comes to back to it, it has its flaws of course but it's an excellent system with virtually infinite replayability.
