Stop Saying "Im Being Punished For Not Playing in The Dark Zone"
The Dark Zone is part of the game. If you want to fully expierence the game by getting all the rewards, gear, etc you need to play the entire game
This isnt some Division only thing. Pratically every game with PVE and PVP requires you to utilize both sides of the game to access all the rewards.
Halo: You have to complete campaign and multiplayer to unlock all gear and rewards
Call of Duty: You have to play Campaign, Zombies, and multiplayer to unlock all gear
Destiny: You have to play PVP and PVE to access evertything
Even in sports games you have to play against CPU and real players to unlock all rewards and achievments
This isnt something new. If you want to unlock everything you have to play everything. The Division is no different. If you want everything youll have to venture into the darkzone.
