Yeah, certain folks might whine and cry about having to wait or grind for certain rewards,

Waiting is fine. Grinding is not.

I agree!

Grinding is filler for a lack of actual content, telling the player to do something boring for a while. Waiting is telling the player to do something else (hopefully something fun) for a while. Much better.

One person's grind is another person's stroll in the park. Arguably having to re-kill enemies in patrol missions is a "grind" if looked at from a different perspective, but nobody complains about that. (Do they? =) )

Hadium flakes are a grind if you have to have them all now and can't wait.

If you don't mind getting them over time it's not a big deal.

You're right, but I also think that getting them over time can mean very different things depending on the player. For players who enjoy spending time in the dreadnought, they'll stumble across Hadium flakes on a regular basis. But for players who rarely or never spend time in the dreadnought, there is no option but to go out of your way to acquire them, which can feel like a grind :)
