An open letter to my contacts

Can we add 'Remove the three-arc limit'?

Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.
Dear contacts,
As you know, nobody is helping you these days? Why? Because you keep sending us on goose chases. Talk to such for no good reason, travel to other zone x, go hunt uninteresting mob y. Everybody is doing Radio missions. Because they are so much more convenient. So unless you remove all the useless rubbish, nobody will ever do the necessary tasks anymore.
The Devs are listening, they're listening!!
Don't feel bad. I almost did the same thing. Though my post was going to be more along the lines of "You realize the devs plan this stuff out months in advance, so your post today..." and then I checked the OP date.
Dear {insert name here},
I'm writing to inform you of a problem in our relationship, productive despite the occasional awkwardness that has becoming a serious impediment to our mutual agendas.
I remain completely unconvinced that there you are aware of only one, or at best two situations that require my attention at any given time, and especially of the increasing implausibility of the odds that another crisis erupts only once I have completed my current task. Thus, I believe full disclosure regarding aw-enforcing tasks available as well as agreement to accept responsibility for several of those tasks simultaneously would be would be in both of our interests and could only streamline the process involved.
Furthermore, while I understand that you have a certain stake in my general wellbeing and therefore wouldn't benefit from overstressing me, I must confess to being annoyed at best and infuriatingly insulted at worst at your perception of my mental faculties. I assure you that, with the available advancements of informational sciences on hand, I am more than capable of keeping track of three ongoing crises at any given time, regardless of who has informed me of them. That, in turn, raises an issue of even greater concern to me. I find your unerring ability to inform me when I have, by your assessment, responsibility for all the tasks I can handle to have terrifying implications for any privacy issue you'd care to name. The only way you'd have of being aware of private conversations between me and my other contacts would be either through constant surveillance or constant realtime communication with all of them. If it's the former, then please direct me to a reputable tinfoil hat shop. If it's the latter, then please stop rubbing the fact that you're part of a giant cabal of seemingly innocuous citizenry secretly manipulating the metahuman populace of Paragon City for your own nefarious purposes in my face, or at the very least cut me in on the deal.
Frustratedly,
Quinch
