You got it!

It's a no win situation:

1. All activities can progress you. Then players will find the most efficient one and grind it.
2. Progression is spread out (as in the powerful engram system), and so to progress players must play things they may not enjoy.

Either way is bad. I don't see an alternative.

I don’t see how they even a debate. Option 1 is undeniably more player friendly. Because you can just do what you want. If you want to do the efficient but boring thing, go for it. Or you can actually just play whatever is the most fun, instead of feeling forced to go to a different activity to make meaningful progress.

Option 1 is a win-win for players.

You'd think so at first… but the overall balance of the progression would be tweaked to accommodate for all the grinding of single activities. Players who don't do this will find themselves with a steeper hill to climb so to speak.
