    Enough is enough Ubisoft, make GE cache classified items tradeable

    Ubisoft,
    Come on, seriously.

    This blatant attempt to keep people playing, a "point-and-click slot machine" is absolutely ridiculous.

    Reward group play, and have people actually able to enjoy the new classified sets during an event by making them tradeable and encourage people to play as a team. Instead of having them grind away on the same mission for 8+ hours expecting to get a classified piece they need.

    People will still play your game in order to find similar pieces to optimize their new set, and I see no reason not to allow this except for some skewed concept that having people go though this ridiculous hoop of running the same mission over and over to get credits to open a chest and have a roll on the slot machine is actually enjoyable.

    Trust me, it isn't. In fact, it's just downright frustrating. If any of your development team has actually played an event then you would know how much of a useless time sink this is. Only knowing that if you don't do it, there is absolutely no chance of finding these classified set items again until the great "loot drop chance increase" that you are toting in front of us like some carrot on a stick.

    We aren't donkeys, we are human beings. With lives, and other activities that pull on our time.
    To expect your player base to do this is beyond insulting, it is bordering on devious.

    Your game mechanics are in my opinion, broken, and adding basic set items into GE caches is beyond stupid.
    We simply want our time we spend in your game to be rewarded, not spent being rewarded with crafting components.

    Come on, give a little, trust me, your player base will thank you.

    I would take a hard look at other loot systems and what they do, I think you could learn a thing or to.

    Unless there is someone in a suit and tie that is telling you to make it this way, if so, I would suggest finding a new place to work, or growing a pair and try thinking of the reputation of your company and your products. More importantly, think about Tom Clancy and his name that you have attached to his product.

    Anyway, this is simply my opinion so feel free to listen to it or not, but I logged off The Division today, tired and frustrated after spending my weekend trying to accomplish a goal with my friends, and winding up one piece short of completing the set I wanted. Doubting if I will ever log in again.

    I have truly enjoyed the time I have spent in The Division, but if nothing changes, I doubt I will even attempt the other global events, or purchase any expansions in the future.

    Your move Ubisoft.

    I've had fun and was planning on playing most of the day but I got my 25th Nomad on my first cache today and lost all will to play. Im not sure if I will get it back anytime soon. I feel the chances of me getting my last 3 predators or D3 pieces are impossible in two days when I've already farmed 5 days, every day for hours and only gotten 3 pieces of those sets.

    I totally agree.... this is straight trolling at its finest. I’m on the edge of dropping this game cause this loot drop is definitely the worst I have encountered. I’m not getting how I’m missing one piece of each set and those particular pieces are not dropping especially after all the caches I’ve opened. But the pieces I do have dropped like 6-8 times already. This is beyond fubar. There’s is definitely something at play that makes almost impossible to get those final pieces.

    Obviously you guys are not opening your caches in the same place every time and turning in a circle 3 times before opening each one. It still amazes me that some people don't know how RNG works. You've gotta have the right GE ju-ju. I bet you all even shaved during the GE. Good luck at getting any predators mark if you shaved. Gotta have that GE beard, it makes your RNG karma stronger as the GE days get fewer.

    Can confirm, the GE loot pool and drop chances are literally an effort to troll us all. And I play with OP daily. We literally talked about this for hours last night, lamenting over not getting loot we wanted and talking about loot systems in other games. If I wasn't already Stockholmed by this game I'd have moved on. But I'm like a battered wife at this point. I'm always the one to think I did wrong.

    Well my hiatus didn't last as I played tonight. I got 10 ****ing classifieds and 8 were nomad. I now have gotten 32 Nomad pieces and still need 3 pieces on my other sets. I have 3 clips recorded and can download it if people think Im lying. This is absolutely infuriating because Im ok with a long grind but this is broken.
