No one wants to "grind" away boring activities for gear that makes OTHER activities more enjoyable. Just give me the loot that I want, let me play the modes that I want, and let me play the way that I want! All this artificial difficulty, forced ways to obtain weapons / armor, and awful balancing leads to burnout and frustration. At the very least, bring back crafting and bad luck protection so that player time is respected! I know not everyone feels the way that I do, but keep in mind: THIS IS NOT A JOB. I don't want to treat it like one.
