Yea, running both at the same time sure would've helped that notion. Expeditions were pretty poor, as always, cost/reward compared to running adventures. The time I wasted for the expeditions surely have cost me a few thousand eggs if I had run adventures instead. Not to mention putting the explorer(s) on cooldown.
Not sure why we have "2 different games" but need to handle both with the same restrictions. As if running 1 at a time or doing co-ops wouldn't be restriction enough as it is :/
