PVE Poll - To grind or not to grind?

How many people out there stop grinding a PVE once they receive the legendary token (and the subsequent disappointment when it's IW greentile.png )?

Just curious really since I usually stop once I hit the token.

    I stop almost immediately when I get the LT. I might do couple of more runs if the command points is still there but I will not die for it.

    This doesn't include 4* release events where I tend to grind till the end (but usually top 50-100 is enough for me).

    And when the event is heroic Jugs I contemplate stopping the grind before the LT is achieved and just have some time off.... I tinykitty hate the tinykitty Jugs heroic.

    It depends on my bracket. If I'm in a death bracket with a ton of folks grinding hard, it might not be worth trying for 2 cps. So far it hasn't been the case; I've been lucky in that regard. icon_e_ugeek.gif

    I don't even grind until the LT.
    The 3* progression is normally the most I am willing to go for when I have 2 or more of the essentials.

    Naturally, my placement sucks... icon_e_biggrin.gif

    No grinding, I just play normally to the legendary token. Only grind if the nodes are being stubborn about not giving up the cp.

    Like heroics. Lazy top50 for free hp!

    80% of the time yes. keep in mind you also have to go get those CPs now. after the LT, depends on what other events are going on and how busy my day is.

    Usually getting the LT is enough for T100.. since i have no need of any 3* covers.. i tend to stop there..

    This poll fails to take into account 4* release events..

    In those events, absolutely not.. i keep going till the bitter end.

    I keep grinding to make sure I get at least top 50 in each sub. Which means doing an extra clear or two but not doing a full grind.

    Last night was the first time I really ground down some nodes to 1 trying to get those $#@$% CPs which didn't happen.
  • I will grind for top 10 in any new release event.

    I will hit my 8ish hour clears for a 3* event to ensure my LT, with some light grinding of the hard node and 4* essential to get the CoPs. That's usually enough to get me top 50 sub and event ISO and HP awards. The marginal extra iso/hp for top 10 is no longer worth it to me. I'll let those extra covers go to someone who needs it.
  • If Top 50 is obtainable, go for it.

    That's the goal for every node anyways.

    When I first started playing I ground every node to dust just to try earn some covers and tokens. These days once I hit progression I stop. I need the Daken covers for Juggs Heroic but I'll be damned if I'm grinding those magneto nodes

    I also go for the CP unless it is a Heroic. I just take Heroics off as they are too frustrating. I will also relax on the Gauntlet event since the reward is not worth the pain and health packs

    Like just about everybody else, once I have the CPs and the LT, I'm done. Unless I can win a couple of fights to get a cardpack.png for placement instead of a standard, but generally the legendary target is set at a point where I've got that just from reaching final progression.

    Amen brother. First CP in PvE I haven't gotten because I gave up after 10 failed attempts being out of characters and out of health packs.

    God bless you. My goal just became finishing the sub. There will be other opportunities to get CP that don't make me want to hang myself.

    I'm actually shocked at the amount of people grinding in this edition of the adventures of the heroic Juggernaut. Given the hatred for OP Juggs and heroics but my slice is insane, people grinding like madmen

    I am too. This is the least fun I've had in an event, aside from GH1.

    Vote no, in fact I'd rather hit myself in the head with a hammer than grind Juggernaut: Heroic

    Think this is more general.. not specific to the current worst heroic lineup ever event..

    I deny that any event with boosted 3* Thor and Loki is the worst lineup ever. Especially when the last day (which is by far the worst, because it's the only one where you have to fight Juggs in the sub) also gives you Kamala.
