I suggest taking normalization out of all darkzones . It's really makes builds almost pointless . People can throw about anything on and do decent damage .I can go in with purples on and kill people straight up . What's the point in gear score really? I know theres the odz but still I dont agree with normalization for the dark zone period

The challenge is finding the perfect grey-zone when either extreme is ultimately detrimental for a whole slew of different types of players.
This is a looter shooter where your gear is suppose to matter . If people take time to put together good builds with min max stats they should do better than someone who throws on purple crap or barely plays this game and doesnt take any time or put any thought into their builds . Gear score doesnt matter anymore theres absolutely no reason to really care anymore about it . I'm talking about the darkzone only .
The question is, how much do you feel your gear alone should be able to determine victory vs. skill or outplay potential? It's a nebulous question, I know, but an important one.
