In a word, NO.... This is NOT the right approach
Ubisoft, do hear have selective hearing? Players of all skill level and of assorted time played have almost all but agreed on a select few things.
1. Solo player loot is embarrassingly pathetic and feeling forced to play in groups to increase the quantity/quality is yet another FORCED playstyle on your paying base.
2. TTK ratio/balance is laughable between us and what the lowest red bar enemy can do.
3. Replayable content should not revolve around grinding for gear. Some players, myself included, have searched for 6 plus months on nothing lower than Heroic for Wyvern, Providence chest & backpack pieces.
4. Seasonal/Global Events are very unpopular i.e. Polarity being one of the worst.
5. Recalibration & now Optimization. Let's talk about this, shall we. Division 1 optimization was amazing and if it isn't broke, DO NOT FIX IT. You are creating a problem that doesn't exist and this is only going to compound the paper thin stress levels felt in the community. We have been grinding since we liberated the front lawn of the White House. Then when we thought min/max was reached, gear 2.0 was dropped in our laps and it all went to hell. 2k hours and I know there are players that have eclipsed me by double. Between the above mentioned issues and many more, now you expect to give us MULTIPLE requirements to interact with different factions, mission types and it means ONE thing....... MORE FREAKING GRINDING just to get to maximum gear.
A great game doesn't force you to play by locking gear or resources behind it to feed your algorithms. Minecraft, 7 Days to Die, Final Fantasy, World of Warcraft and many others have dedicated players because the game itself keeps them coming back. Please adjust the numbers either required for upgrades or resources given out from farming. As it stands now, I'll stick with the greatest Exotic only equaled by the Pestilence coming out in a month, Scorpio. I avoid the Summit because every floor has drones or SHD cache. Hacked warhounds are cancer. I get one targeted loot item a floor (two rooms cleared). CP4 gives me 6 or more, so why would I continue to farm the Summit?
