[2019] Punishment for legitimate players because of others?

What are your thoughts on this matter? I would just like to have my dailies back.

Another player also mentioned this but it can often times come down to how more system-wide things. For example, the daily/weekly project issue was a matter of the rewards being bugged, so while the problem is investigated, the rewards are shutdown. For something like the T-posing or revive-hive or Specialty ammo, the ideal solution is not to shut down those systems (enemies dying, an entire ability, and ammo drop chance respectively) entirely, as that would cause a far bigger issue than the bug itself.

Like, having no daily or weekly project rewards sucks, yes, but it's a smaller impact on the game than everyone past level 30 blasting to Gear Score 500 in an hour or two. With Specializations, allowing the ammo drop issue to be looked at without turning off ammo drops or disabling Specializations is a smaller overall impact on your play experience.

I hope this helps explain at least how I tend to view these types of situations. I appreciate the discussion though, it's been an interesting read.

Anybody want to fill us in?
