Watermark increasing process is too slow

Hi all,

I have the feeling that increasing the watermark for armor and weapons are really slow and gives a bad gaming experience. Some things I experienced during my gear score farming process which should be changed:

  1. When I farmed the elite zones first I had a lot of armor drops. I increased the most armor slots gear score to 575, my weapons were still around 510. Suddenly the armor drops decreased and the weapon drops increased. Now my weapons gear scores were increasing to 550-560 but my armor gear score was still around 580-585. I am asking myself if it’s intended that the distribution of drops is like first armor then weapons, I am asking also to the round if you experienced the same. I would expect that either the weapons gear score increasing in parallel to the armor ones or that the armor is coming to the 590 cap first, so that you can legendary armor already. What I want to say is, somehow I feel like that the gear score farming process was intended to be annoying long. First armor drops then weapon drops which slows down the process to get the first legendary items.
  2. The chests in Genesis and I am not sure about Lazarus drop items around 500 gear score even if my watermark is around 580. I think there should be a bug. Often my m8s got also low gear score drops from monsters in Genesis even though they had a high watermark. Probably there is also a bug with the loot from monsters.
  3. The drop of jewelry is ridiculously low. How are we supposed to get 600 watermark on jewelry. This would take ages. I think the drop rate for jewelry should be increased even if they are common or rare ones.
  4. The elite zones are full of people, you can’t farm the zones except for the chests. Tuning orbs are too expensive (this is already addressed by the devs).
  5. Farming elite zones over and over again is the only content the game offers. This is soo annoying and boring after a week. Increasing the watermark should be more diverse and should be also somehow attractive.

What do you think about the points I mentioned?

It would be nice to have quite a few more avenues for increasing watermark. Whether farming elite zones, expeditions, pvp, opr, ect.

Yeah this is where I put the game down yesterday. I logged on and started killing elites for 5 minutes. Said this is fucking boring and logged off. Haven’t been on since. It’s like the only activity to do at 60 since no one runs dungeons and OR blows. Horrible system.

This is likely working as intended. They need to slow you down as the gear grind IS the endgame…at least for now.
