Leveling For Loot MAKES NO SENSE

How am I supposed to convince veteran players to get back on the game when it takes 15+ hours to get loot as good as what they already have? And it takes another 15 hours to unlock better loot? This is a mind boggingly stupid game design for a looter shooter-style game. The game should reward SKILL not TIME. If my friends are good enough to go Flawless or complete a Raid, actually reward them! Why is the guy who played Lost Sectors for 30 hours rewarded more? This entire level / loot system makes no sense. Sincerely, Someone who wants to play the game with friends who have lives outside of gaming

  • I had this thought at first too but it’s really not that bad. Get to level 300 and you’re guaranteed tier 3 loot with B+ scores. Tier 5 loot isn’t needed, especially for weapons. Tier 3 already guarantees 4 perks in a weapon and enhanced perks off the bat. The armor may be a bit better but you don’t actually need all those stat points. Stat pools are still nice at tier 3. I did the campaign and got almost light 200 then just a few more days for 300. Tier 5 armor is for us no life’s who want our builds 5% better than yours. Plus on the bright side they more than likely will change this system and make it easier. I will agree it definitely is TOO grindy.
