I ,for one, am only currently around EGO 345 and have yet to finish the game ( I am playing through and enjoying myself ). The reason I state this is I will NOT and have NEVER paid for a Lockbox (or that type of item in a F2P.. I just cannot afford it), and I do not feel that you're ability to acquire gear should be any different than mine. And currently in my inventory I have 4-5 purple weapons of various types (plus 2 shields and one of each grenade type all around the 300 level) and an orange shotgun. These have all been from drops in the game. I do not 'grind' yet, as again I have not finished the game content. And yes I have purchased in game 2- level 2 boxes, 3- level 3 boxes, and 1- level 4 box from keys I have gotten via just running around and playing.
I do not feel a sense of entitlement from Trion as I for one feel that those items should be 'Hard to get' hence the color coding rarity. If you have a million people running around with 'orange' or 'purple' guns then they really aren't that 'rare'.. just 'rarer to get' which are 2 totally different things. I was thinking that now that I have broken 300 EGO that the drop rates are a bit too high for what I have accumulated.
I know most will TL:DR, but just because you can afford to toss around $$ should not entitle you to any better a chance than those of us who play just as hard and cannot. Grapes and Oranges should be just that extremely hard to get.. it makes them more of what they were meant to represent. And being as the only real differences are the synergies and such.. you're still dealing with mostly the same weapon!
