You can't please everyone.
Collections: search yourself and have fun doing it or use the wiki or YT and bypass the boring bits = totally up to you personally.
A journal for list of things you are collecting is a great idea, my desk does not need more scraps of paper on it.
What I think DOES need assistance is G1 and 2 legendary creation - it is so complex and there are NO instructions in-game to even set you on the right path once you have done the collections and received your precursor.
EDIT: all you get is a mystic hint in an email that says - "go speak to Myani"
