Many locations just exist with the intention to make you think there are a variety of things to do, explore and have fun with. The reality is that almost all of these locations, such as the Theme Park, Talchem lab, S.A.D., etc are all pretty much pointless. The only interesting and viable things that can happen to you in PVE is finding a very rare special encounter, lockers or caves. The Glow is a nice first step, the warehouse is ok, but PVE needs to be enhanced dramatically. Places like the above should spawn items randomly in their respective containers, along with enemies to defend them. There needs to be other viable methods of obtaining items besides city lockers and caves. Perhaps coastal chests which have a different loot table, or desert tiles that spawn mini villages with a merchant that sells harder to find stuff. IDK, anything will do. The boredom was already ramping up as I was playing and it started funneling me into the only end game possible, PVP. And by PVP I mean join one of the three dominating factions, because god help you if you try to make your own. How is that fun?
TLDR: No.
