If Legendary is the end-all be all of difficulties, and you probably need a good/classified gear set-up to run these in order to get through them, plus a cohesive team, plus experience, etc. why give the people who already have the gear they need...more chances to get gear that they already have?
I'm being completely honest here. I mean, even in Diablo 3, PoE, Grim Dawn, etc. you have a decent chance to get gear you need. You work your way up through the difficulties, getting a drop here, a drop there, and sometimes you hit a plateau and you grind there for a bit, but you balance the difficulty with the run speed. I'm a returning player back when these classified gear sets didn't even exist, and the vector was king. Now, I have gotten over thousands of set gear drops, tried farming DZ, Resistance, Underground, and I have gotten classifieds, don't get me wrong, but only have gotten 1 classified I want (Predator). I've been running with a group of three friends, and none of us have gotten any to trade with each other, besides that 1 classified that my friend traded me.
It seems to me that the drop rates of classified gear sets are extremely difficult to obtain to those who can't reach the end-game content, besides waiting for the next GE to drop.. However, I cannot get to the end-game content, without a full set, excluding the problems of team cohesion.
So...why not increase the chances of getting classified set gear across the board for all game mode? As of right now, the DZ is still the best place to farm unless you have a solid nomad set for solo resistance (again classifieds) and the DZ is still a PVP environment. I love doing Underground missions, but what is the point if there is no progression in it?
I'm not saying give the gear away. I grinded away a full set of Crusader Ancient Golden Fleece set up for Diablo 3 and that took a good amount of time, and I enjoyed that time grinding away, but when you cannot smoothly grind for gear, it becomes a slog.
When you have 3 other game modes that have no point to them because they don't drop anything, that means you have a broken game with little incentive to run anything besides one form of content in what would be otherwise a diverse game.
