    They raised progression levels in PvE so you will need to do 5 clears of each node to get progression, but the 5* Req'd node is "free" points and can make up some. I think the grind is worse then ever actually.... 
    Don't underestimate the value of the 5e. In SCL9, just 2 clears gets you 3 CP, which adds up over time. Plus with the extra points it adds, I've found that I can do 1 clear on the opening node, 6 clears on the easy nodes (4 for easy waves), 2 clears on the 5e, and just 4 clears on everything else (2 on non-easy waves) and still hit full progression, regardless of timing. This allowed me more play time for PvP, and the additional placement and progression rewards from PvP more than make up for the lost placement rewards from doing PvE this way.

    This doesn't get 100% progression 100% of the time, but I'd estimate at least 90% and I've always been able to hit a few extra nodes on the last day for those few events where I was a bit short.
