    Will you please fix the dumpster fire that are gear drops?

    Right now the only reason I'm playing is because I actually enjoy the game. The mechanics of it work for me and make me happy. Don't get me wrong there are plenty of things wrong with the game, don't think I'm satisfied about bullet sponges cause that frankly pisses me off but that's another topic. This topic is about the gear drops.

    Whoever came up with the idea that drops are weighted to almost always drop at a lower gear score than your current gear score for presumably the reason that you think that is an incentive to keep playing should be fired. Walk of shame them. I'd gladly fly to Malmo just to throw some rotting vegetables at whoever thought a gear score 500 person gets 492s regularly, regardless of content difficulty. Do you know how unsatisfying it is to spend an hour or two playing some challenging missions and walking away with zero gear worth using?

    And what is with the fact that 500 items can be worse than lower GS items? Whoever thought of that has an intelligence level equal to the fine folks who wrote the final season of GoT. I thought that was supposed to be fixed? Another lie.

    Like I said I'm still playing because I love the gameplay. A cover based shooter where you grind through the waves and make your way through a map is fun for me. What isn't fun is the other 99% of the game, the part that is supposed to make looter shooters....looters. There is no loot. There is just a bunch of garbage I either sell or break down after every mission because you can't figure out how to make the game rewarding.

    The only way to get guaranteed drops from control points is to be GS500 and clear them at level 4. I always get 5 GS500 items from the box, whether they're worth the effort though is another story...

    These are bad but I've been more frustrated by the lack of exotic drops. Over 500 hours and hundreds of missions and not a single drop. With this RNG one could apparently play for millions of hours and not get a drop. It seems there is nothing in the RNG to detect those who have been completely shutout even after hundreds of hours of game play.

    Its almost like the RNG knows what you are after. Even with fraction keys, I have loads of keys apart from hyena ones so I went on a sewer run.
    30 boxes opened and I got 2 hyena keys, 13 dark zone ones and I never go into the dark zone.

    That reminds me, I really need to start looting more faction boxes. Got almost all keys maxed… except heyena.

    Oh, and darkzone, but since that's the pvp part of the game and I want to chill more than shock these days… (workday end, kid in bed, wife on Netflix,... my hour of gametime NOT spent satisfying gankers with their default LMG xD ).

    Anyone know a guide to faction boxes with fixed locations?

    Do bounties. Each boss drops a key. I'm always full of each type. Another poor change they made as previously there was a reason to visit the sewers. Now there isn't.

    Bounties and sewers are cool to get keys, I need ways to spend them. XD

    I LOL @ people who $h1t on purple drops. Some of the god rolls on my main gear are because of purple drops. They're great to farm for talents to roll on your gear builds.
