It's not so much the flurry of new swords that's infuriating, it's their abysmal drop/smithing rates (and in Kotegiri's case, an overwhelming number of event items needed in a short time). Some people are super lucky and smith a sword or get it to drop in a handful of tries, but from what I've seen a ton of people walk away with nothing, and when that happens multiple times over just ~3 months, of course people are going to start being negative. A little over 2 years of playing, and it seems that recently there must've been changes made to the team in charge of the game, because suddenly it's no longer the fun, relaxed thing it used to be. I personally just do whatever daily missions I can, do a few runs of whatever event is going on to progress through the event's missions, and then just leave the game open in the background for expedition returns and sendoffs while playing other games.

As for World 7, I must have terrible luck there (not a surprise) because I constantly run into 10HP enemies, and even with 12 ranged troops it's not guaranteed to be killed. I honestly find it easier to clear all of World 7 with a mix of swords rather than just Kiwame Tantous. Plus, I hate 7-2 because I can't train Taikogane there since most of the time I end up at the dead ends, and that messes with SF levels, as well as just not being worth it EXP-wise. 7-4 long route is indeed great for training Tantous/Wakis/Uchis (plus 1 Kiwame if you can get the scouting under 320) and I'll probably train Kotegiri and Kiwame Taikogane there, but I have no other sub-99 Tantous/Wakis/Uchis, and seeing the rest of the team get nothing is just kinda sad.
