State of the Game for me, like a few others...
I'm with quite a few other posters on this, and I think I'm done too for now till they figure out what the heck they are doing! I might come back in they Ever figure out this game...
But let me give you a little backstory... since Ubi loves to give backstory... I do too. 
I had well over 120 Days Played (that's over 2880 hours, on one Character...), all exotics and almost 10 different min/maxed Gear sets for solo, to group and Raid gameplay, Before WoNY release. Proper Terminology... Used To... I bought WoNY Expansion hoping the best but now I feel betrayed and disregarded by the Dev Team and Ubisoft/Redstorm/Whoever else had a hand in this! 2880 hours for Nothing! I boosted one of my alts to lvl 30 GS500 and he had BETTER Gear than me!?!? 2880 hours now and nothing to show for it... I had to buy new gear off the Clan Vendor just so I had something to go to NY with! E V E R Y single weapon (Including ALL my Exotics!), piece of gear and Skill mods I had collected over that 2880 hours... junk... just junk... I had builds I was proud of that worked great and would barely let me do Heroic Missions Solo (missions were the only Truely Heroic tasks in game, CP4 and Bounties were a joke on heroic), but the reward for the risk solo was not there... ever...
Yes I play solo a lot because my RL friends only play every couple days or maybe a week in between because they have lives, unlike me... I don't matchmake much because I am not feeding the 'Only Group' players who demand loot/exotic drops or I have to carry though missions because they do almost no damage and get the lowest kills. I do get the 1 or 2 matchmakeing groups that are nice and talkative and people know their role, but they are few and far between.
Now you introduce new content and make the Story Mode easy but once you hit 40 and get your new watch, the **** hits the Fan! I can't step ONE FOOT outside a safe house or Haven without getting Jumped from atleast 1 set of 4-6 NPC's! God forbid I don't get Automatically Attacked leaving a safe area, if I walk to an intersection there are 2, sometimes 3 factions now fighting and bringing me into it! I don't have enough Ammo (even with my new exotic backpack giving me 25% more ammo!) to take on all these guys because 1 shot from me and they start focusing and rushing me! I have to keep running back to new cover just to deploy skills Over and Over and get some headshots in here and there just to survive it! And this is Just Open World!?!? I was trying to run over to do an Activity but now I gotta fast travel or run back to the safehouse to get a resupply of ammo, grenades and armor kits (sometimes the armor kits drop enough to refill my measly 4 armor kits I can have now... but not always!) and then I go to run back to go do the Activity I was trying to do in the first place... to Once Again getting Jumped.... I just gave up doing Activities now unless they were right next to me because I can't go around the map to raise CP's without dieing 2-3 times or doing 5-20 Open World Fire Fights to get to them...
Enough griping from me... I enjoyed the new content and some of the new NPC factions! The new map was Great too! I don't like the new NPC sponginess and DPS to boot... maybe if I was SHD lvl 1000 it would be different but I doubt I'll ever make it there... I gave Div 2 2880+ hours and you spat it in my face like I was nothing... not gonna invest that much more time to get spit on again.
Thanks for the Fun while it lasted... maybe someday I'll come back if you stop listening and catering to the 1% who hardly plays the game between their 20 other games they play everyday...
Just one quick question for anyone at Ubisoft/whoever might read this... Why was Warlords of New York Expansion not "The Division 3, Taking the Fight Back to New York!!" and a totally separate game??? Just wondering... because maybe you would not have a bunch of players upset with the state of the game now...
