    I Absolutely Hate......

    The fact that specific gear is exclusive to the dark zone is such a disadvantage to everyone, How the hell are we supposed to build competitive characters for the raid, conflict and legendary encounters if Massive locks named gear with superior stats behind one of the stupidest concepts in gaming?

    Every time i step foot in the DZ i get shredded by players who have upper class builds because they were able to farm the DZ either in a group or early on when the DZ was full of crickets,

    This concept puts a vast majority of players at a disadvantage and we cannot compete in the same arena as those DZ molesters.

    Something needs to be done. We should all have fair chance at the same loot regardless of the way you want to play this game.

    Good luck.

    Ive tried arguing this point so many times. Inevitably it gets drowned by DZ players who cant imagine a world where they dont get to farm PVE built players.

    Same thing for raid locked items, only the sides are reversed.

    We all have our problems... EB is locked being raid and i don't want to do it. Other gears are locked being raid as well... i am not ranting. We all have a choice.

    And btw... no, they don't have better gears coz they farmed the dz lol.

    You could server hop until you find a more empty DZ. You could also put together a PvP build. Maybe go in with some friends or MM with randoms. There’s definitely safety in numbers. I get that it can be irritating, but there are also some solutions.

    The only thing that will not change is the fact that exclusive loot will be in there, so you’ll have to adjust to get it.

    I get it and i've been trying. Server hoping, playing at 4 AM..LOL Matchmaking is nonexistent. I can sit for almost 30 minutes without a single player join.

    It's frustrating because i love the game and i am pretty good for an old guy. I can make a good build that gets me through legendary missions but i want to get better gear to run the raid without being that weak guy in the group.

    I will say I rarely get anything worth even keeping from the DZ. I’d say crummy drops are impacting your builds more so than anything you’d be missing from the DZ.

    Playing at 4:00 AM is definitely rough...

    Pretty sure a fair tradeoff here would be for rogues to pull from every loot pool other than the two raids.

    For a DPS build you just need 3 piece providence + 3 different pieces from ceska, groupo, coyotes, foxes prayers. You don't need to go into the DZ for these.

    These pieces are in the DZ in an attempt to get PvE players in there. It didn't work in Div1 and it isn't working in Div2. In fact it puts non-PvP players off the game. This was a lesson learnt in Div1 v1.8 and forgotten for Div2.

    What's so powerful in DZ gear that makes it a requirement for the raid or completing legendary content?
