Let us ignore drops, we don’t want. I understand about repair parts or salvaging gold, but I am annoyed by all the junk and me having to salvage it before entering the next elite area.
So, why not let us players decide which loot (gear) tier we want? It’s not worth for everything, since green Skinner pants or sth like that may still have a value. Yet, I feel like want to decide myself, what loot I should get.
If you add such a feature, maybe deactivate it by default. So the gear still drops, but it would be invisible for you if some of the loot is not below the settings you put. Just an idea to remove some headache from the game.
