    6 different DZ groups and same end result

    Within 10-30 minutes of farming, my group is killed by rogues who rob us. Every time.

    And every time, the players in my group don't even bother to try to fight back, they just drop group, and find a another one in the hope of moving to an instance without rogues. And why would they, I emptied my whole clip into the head of a rogue tonight and he didn't even lose a bar of health, yet he shot me once and I was dead before I could even self-heal. There is no point. PvP is advantage to the few and we are just their loot cows.

    End result is the same, rogues get everything, including the DZ all to themselves, and we lose everything, including our motivation to play.

    And before you say it...no, I'm not going to do HVTs or incursions. No, I'm not going to 'get gud'. HVT's and incursion are a boring grind and I'll never be as 'gud' as the DZ gank squads.

    I like the DZ experience minus the rogues. It's random, it's challenging, it's exciting all it's own, just like the developers promised the whole game would be. Why should only the asshats get the best part of the game all to themselves? Give the asshats some other place to live out their psycho killer fantasies. I don't want any part of it.

    The issue is that Massive planed the DLC stuff ahead already, so there won´t be big changes to the original concept in the near future.
    If they could make the difference right now, the DZ would change by alot and maybe there would be even something like a PvE DZ or something completely different.
    Everyone knows that the Dark Zone is one of the major Reasons why a big bunch of Players left the Game, and on the Long Run it will only Hurt the Game considering it is
    supposed to make more Profit after the first Year and the Season Pass runs out.

    So its mostly clear that there will be big changes to the DZ, but they won´t come anytime soon...

    Enter the Dark Zone, a walled-off quarantine zone in the middle of Manhattan where the most valuable loot was left behind when the military evacuated. It’s also the most dangerous area in the game, where fear, betrayal, and tension are high. Team up with other players to take down your enemies and extract legendary loot via helicopter. It’s your choice to collaborate with other agents, or attack them and steal their loot.

    if youre farming dz1-3 then your chances of getting ganked in a random weak side that dont all have mics or know what theyre doing will be high. Its really not a place for casuals unfortunately, but people who are actually competitive and trying to achieve dominance until a team arena arrives youll likely have to endure it.

    Then why don't you play lower tier dz, when you dislike pve missions and don't want to compete with others? The dz experience is the same, whatever rank you have.

    A random group of 4 people without mics in the DZ... That sounds to me like a nightmare tbh.

    I think much depends on your attitude and the attitude of your team mates. People are AFRAID of rogues. They thing that rogues are stronger than them, but that's not usually the case. They're team, you're not. They know what to do, you don't. They act together, you're not. Actually there were times when rogues ran away from us in DZ. When our team was rogue people fought back and sometimes they even killed us.
    Here's a usual scenario what people do when encounter rogues - everyone pops survival link (all at once) then starts running around like crazy forgetting about his team mates. Rogues simply wait and then use chained survival + tactical (2 times longer) + use incendiaries and explosive bullets + shock turrets to cover their rear. GG WP. Plus they have a support guy who heals everyone. Idiots picked one by one. They're team - you're not. I know this because I've been both rogue and rogue hunter.
