The problem with the pillar, is that it locks you into TF mode, so you cant join other teams until you finish. Im more interested in getting the full variety of contacts and missions as you play, So for example, the first Who Will Die mission is level 10-20. How would an average player even know it exists? Or all the new content the new devs have created, it is not really introduced to players. In theory the Find COntact button should take care of this, but it doesn't really introduce you to a whole lot.
