74.141 Flying Solo, I tried to do the same. Hit a point around level 60 where it just did not make sense. Once I did have a few friends, active ones that gifted, the game got a lot easier and more enjoyable. You don't need many friends...just a few whom actually play. If you want to keep them you have to be reciprocal in some way or most players will cut you from their friend list fairly quickly. Reciprocal can mean gifting a free fixer/access key, gifting a CI if you have it to spare, charging their map rooms. It's your choice to play solo but I have heard your same complaint on a private FB Group, too. New players can win the petals and sheilds up to a point then they stop dropping.
