    My problem with the Nerf.

    I can understand people think that it was too easy to get geared.
    But, this nerf just created a gigantic gear-rift between the playerbase. You have those that rushed, and wanted to gear immediately, and did so. And you had those that went a little slower, enjoyed the PVE/Story content, and got there a little late. And now, the latter will have to struggle in an uphill battle to catch up.

    And, I get it. RNG is RNG. But Phoenix Credits were a consistent drop. 5-15 credits, typically, per named enemy. And now its, what? - Maybe 1-5 credits?
    So if RNG screws you, you're going to have to grind, Destiny style, to get those credits.

    The Division had numerous Beta tests. And they couldn't decide, until now, what the drop rate should be? That's bullcrap.

    This is a loot based game. 50% of the game is shooting, and the other 50% is loot. You don't change the loot based part of the game in the middle of the release of the game. You don't release the game, plan DLC, Season Pass, and Free Content upgrades to start up the rest of the content, and then make a major, game changing update to the RNG system.

    Devs, you need to compromise on this. Meet halfway between the old drops, and the new ones.

    You can't buff the DZ mobs, and then take away the rewards they used to drop. While the first wave of players was able to get geared, and remain that way.

    You basically just punished all the players who wanted to take their time, and enjoy the game and not rush.

    People can disagree with me all day. This is just how I feel about it. I no longer want to play nearly as much as I have been. There's no reward to it. And, yesterday I was SOLD on a season pass. Now... im not so sure. If you're just going to sell me a grind-fest, im not interested.

    Challenge mode drops greens and blues maybe 1 purple all the way untill last boss mission completion rewards high end though i think anyway thats not the point, enemies that take insane amount of time to take down giving no reward at all which is dumb.
    Perhaps they should have restricted those nerfs to the easy content rather then also nerfing the hard content, now its not rewarding at all anymore then whats the point of playing the carrot ain't their anymore because you took it away.

    I was pretty okay with the rate at which you obtained Phoenix Credits from PVE content (Not DZ kills) yesterday. I personally didn't understand why Phoenix Credits, which seems to be a PvE currency, was showing up in the DZ at all. But 10-15 per boss kill in a Mission seemed more than fair.

    Now, PvE may as well be completely dead. There's 3 daily missions and nothing else to do whatsoever on the PvE side of things.

    As for the DZ, just completely endless amounts of grinding NPC kills for rank ups. I'm struggling to see how this game is going to keep anyone around for more than a week at this rate.

    Challenge mode gives phoenix credits for completion reward also even if its not dialy, and if its dialy you get like 50 phoenix credits however challenge mode can take up to an hour or probably even longer and is frustatingly hard which is fine but like i say'd before the enemies drop only greens and blue's, while general assembly mission droped insane amount of purple gear which is a joke on hard btw, you can litterly skip like half the mission at 1 point and rush towards the bosses for your phoenix credits, if had funny comments for playing like a maniac because i don't go down at all.
