    what happened to play how you want philosophy?

    so some exotics i want is locked in the DZ.

    Looks like the weapon and set i was after are gated behind the raid.

    didnt you promise to not do this?


    bit disappointing seeing most of the stuff i was looking forward to farming being behind activities i simply dont want to do.

    This is why I always take any comments from a games company with a huge pinch of salt. They claimed the new system would make the game more akin to a proper RPG, yet they don't allow you to allocate your SHD points where you want.

    I can play exactly how I want
    I can build exactly how I want
    I can choose what difficulty I want
    I can choose to farm the exotics I want

    There is nothing in this game that's stopping me from doing anything I want/want to do. the only person that's stopping me is me if I choose not to.

    I'm a P v E only player if I want to farm something that's in the DZ then I can go in the DZ and farm for it.(i'm not locked out of it)

    If I want the EB I can go raid for it.(even though I don't raid and never will in this game) that's my choice no one is stopping me but me.

    So in reality there is nothing in this game that is stopping me from doing anything I want.

    Sure can, yet you get pwnd and are forced to run a meta if you plan on doing anything past NORMAL....

    It was tossed out window ages ago.....

    Playing how you want means your build if viable based on how you want to play.

    Currently, the only option to do any damage in Heroic + is all Red Gear.
    After all there is literally 0 reason to have 2 - 3 Blue gear at this point because enemies 1 shot at 2 million damage.

    So unless you go All blue, your only option is all Red.

    I can also play by rubbing my face across the keyboard. Just because Massive did that when they programed WoNY doesn't mean I should do it too.

    As some have said in the past, Massive has taken creative liberties, instead of feeling you was lied to. I do agree locking gear behind certain content is a bad idea, it makes those you have those items feeling special because they got it and you don't. As for you, seek help in the areas that keep you away from what you want. There are players that are willing to help you in the DZ. There are players that are willing to help in the Raids. Unfortunately, Ubi and Massive are not willing to help, cause they keep doing things like this. Cause in alternative is you stop playing which is bad for all of us.

    Or from repeatedly smashing yourface into a brickwall , but i suspect you wont do that and i wont do things i dont want to. but its a nice logical phallacy there being a workaround is kind of like a good way to invlidte the complaint, i mean until you think about it, then you realise basically what your saying is its ok to get cancer as there are treatements for it. then you realise there being a possible fix for something bad doesnt stop the bad thing being bad.

    the point is that this is against what we wre promised. and having to resort to extortion and bribing us by holding back the best items to force player activity into clearly unpopular activities is a bad idea.

    Well put. What baffles me though, is how they thought their majority introverted playerbase would just go, "Oh, group play? Sounds good!! Let's go pvp too!! Can't wait to talk to strangers and be told to go @#$% my mother!!!"
