They admitted they got it wrong and that leaving a mission early doesn't mess up the game. This new info changes things in the ongoing farming issue.

Original Story: Players Farming Resources Causing Problems
Helldivers 2 is facing an unexpected problem - farming. In this game, players are on a mission to free planets from aliens. But now, some players are causing trouble by farming, a term for quickly finishing easy missions to get rewards and then doing it again.
These farmers target simple missions like killing robots to gather rewards like medals and XP. Instead of doing a mix of missions, they repeat these easy ones to get rewards faster. The big issue here is that if you don't finish all the missions in an operation, it counts as a loss for Super Earth. This hurts the overall progress in the game.
Players Voice Concerns
People on Reddit are worried about it. One player said, "Farmers are the reason Super Earth will be in trouble." They explained how joining missions where players just farm for rewards is making it harder for the whole community. The problem gets trickier because some players don't like hard missions and prefer the easy ones. Also, getting rewards and leveling up in Helldivers 2 takes a long time and can be tough. So, some players choose farming to progress faster.
But not everyone might know that incomplete missions hurt Super Earth. The game doesn't explain it well, and casual players might not get why farming is bad.
The Helldivers 2 community has ideas to fix this. They suggest the game should clearly tell players that leaving missions hurts Super Earth. Some even say to lock certain missions to stop farming, but that limits player choices. Others propose giving special rewards only when a planet is freed, making the community work together for a common goal.
