Or doing heroic difficulty? Or anything above hard for that matter?

Im glad this game has a lot of loot, but like anthem, you guys have forgot the fundamental reason to chase harder content - better rewards!

Right now, exotics are bad, but you dont need to raid to get them. Gear sets are bad, but you dont need to raid to get them. When i step foot inside this raid in a few weeks, what am i supposed to be looking forward to as my reward?

I keep saying this, you guys need to look to path of exile for inspiration, because you have figured out how to make challenging content, but you have lost all ability to reward players for doing said content. Where are the unique drops? The gear sets that make you feel powerful that are the reward for completing hard content? You have made no interesting talents, no heroic/challenge only brands, or weapons, nothing. Youve made no interesting talents that are only challenge or heroic only drops, no brands that are challenge or heroic only drops, no weapons or armor that are challenge or heroic only drops, no gear sets, no exotics, hell, even the gear score doesnt go above the cap. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO CARROT on this stick. My reviews on the True Patriot, Hardwired and Sweet dreams exotics include some examples of "carrots" the division 2 is missing.

My build has to be damn near perfect to even survive heroic difficulty, im sure it has to be even better when this raid comes out, which means, once i go in there, and bang my head against the wall for a few hours to finally beat the raid what do i get? 7 random yellow drops?

Cmon guys, you need to pick a side here, are you trying to be an interesting pve looter or some pvp game? Because pvp is the reason why you cant have interesting builds, why you cant ive players power, but without power you cant create interesting pve. Right now, the game has no carrot on the stick, most people have foolishly gotten blinded by chasing gear score, but the reality is, even when you hit 500, who gives a ****, that number isnt a build, its not a playstyle, its not an achievement, its literally nothing.

Loot is a huge problem right now, its the reason i dont go into the dark zone, its the reason why i havent even attempted heroic difficulty, its the reason why i question the need to raid - What is the motivation to do these activities when there is going to be nothing to show for it?
