    I don't match make or play with any randoms myself. I have never been in a group in this game and the only time I ever grouped in TD1 was with people I knew. I did help power level a few new players but that doesn't really count. Just meet a level 5 at the docks and fast travel them to all the safe houses to unlock fast travel shopping and then run a mission for them and drop them a million credits worth of loot to get them started. This almost always left them at level 16 with a million credits. Good start. You know. lol

    In that case I think we are both having opposite experiences in the game. Whenever I group up in Summit on challenging I do find lots of items. Some better then others, some are useful for one of my characters, others for maximizing library attributes. When I start at level 1, 11, 21 etc I'm always looking forward to the 10th floor so I can empty my backpack again. Usually half filled due to load-outs so most of time I do manage to find 40+ items doing 10 floors. Very happy that they are going to increase it to 150. And most likely as a group we do about 20 (or more) floors within the time you do 7. It really helps to play in groups of 4 players, you find more and with communication you can also share items found.

    What I've learned in this game is that there is no quality, only quantity matters with loot. The more and faster you find items, the better chances you have to get some good stuff. Regardless of the difficulty settings you play with. When people don't find the things they need, like or want that is just unfortunate, I can only with agree with that.

    Sometimes it's a lot more entertaining to watch players, but unlike watching YouTube and get to interact with them.

    My experience is I get 1 to 3 drops per room on legendary with a full group usually above floor 80, of course over half is useless because the only thing its is good of is the library, which I feeled within 2 weeks after Summit release and thanx to unlimited stats it is no longer worth collect gear. I don't get but 2 or 3 drops on the first 10 floors on legendary, so that tell u the ga

    sometimes you can honestly just sit in haven and randomly go through the people nearby list inspecting them and see what must be at least half of them with these builds...

    by comparisons i'd say someone with say a 6 piece hardwired or something is at least consistent in whattheyre aiming for.
    It's a video game. Entertainment. Fun. If running bizarre combinations gets them some kind of behavior or bonus that they like, more power to `em I say. Yeah, maybe they wouldn't stand a chance in PvP or Heroic, but honestly, not many play those modes anyway.

    Anyway, I do that sometimes too; inspecting every player in Haven just to see what they've put together. Sometimes I get ideas, most times not.

    As for
    your loot quality argument, you're just wrong. Once you get a build to 70-80%, you just can't improve it outside of legendary and certainly not solo. If I run a solo challenging mission, most of the time, the bosses are the only loot drops and the loot drops in the 50-70% quality range. The only good loot for a solo player not playing heroic and legendary is caches and that is because the caches are set to legendary quality. The vendors get some good stuff too.

    ....
    This has not been my experience at all. And maybe this is due to you being newer to TD2 and are grinding hard to max everything. I started WoNY about a month after it was released and had reached World Tier 5 with my agent. It took me about four months of just regular playing to reach SHD 1000. Working up to hard, then challenging, and now heroic difficulties. I think I am over 1600 now. I have rarely gotten anything worth keeping from a proficiency cache and have only completed two legendary missions. All of my gear has been mainly from challenging missions and world, plus level 4 CPs and all bounties.

    I joined a clan at about SHD 150, or so, but played solo prior except when calling/responding to backup requests. Now when farming missions we get four in the group because more players=more enemies=more loot. I always open loot boxes in missions as they scale with difficulty, and I'm an RPGer and can't help myself.

    I guess the game is as different for each of as us as we are from one another.

    That sounds about right. Took me from February to June/July to get to SHD 1000. One of my clan mates is trying to level up fast by running heroic missions and heroic world content with four directives at all times. Not really sure why everyone wants to level up so fast. Nothing changes at SHD 1000 except other people's expectations of your abilities. Why rush it?
