I will also keep insisting on the issue below, from my last Q&A. You answered just about the rarity of orange drops, but that was not what I asked:
"Since content (in my opinion) has been addressed, I think it's fair to say that the second main concern of the forums has not changed, it has only became the #1 concern: bugs.
And I mean, lots of bugs. We reached a point in Defiance where even the smallest bugs are starting to bring us over the edge, because we have been subjected to them for so long, but so long, that we are now feeling like we are second-rate customers that take whatever it's given to us as a favor. Ironically, *I* haven´t reached this point, but you don't need to be a psychologist to read the mood of the forums. And this worries me a lot, because to me, the close contact the Defiance community has with you, the Defiance Team, is what makes this game so special. We have been heard before. You guys gave us that. We are now used to it.
But you haven't dropped a single word about all the complaints about the Midsummer Mutiny's lack or irrelevance of drops. And this kind of disconnection between the Team and the Community worries me, because it seemed like a deliberate decision. I mean, it was impossible to oversee the dozens of threads and messages about this issue. We saw you addressing the Infector mods issues among them, which made the unawareness of the drops issue even more impossible to admit.
This post is becoming quite large, so I'll summarize it. What I would like to see addressed in this Q&A is:
1) Please, come forward about the lack of drops on the world map, during the MMs;
2) Please, come forward as to why every event there's an undesirable drop that keeps repeating itself. As it is now, It looks like an strategy to devaluate the drops;
3) Please, acknowledge that the "Bug Smash Month" idea is a cry from the community and it's only a suggestion to "gather round" an objective. I'm NOT saying Defiance Team does not work on bugs, YOU DO, you have been proving that to us. I'm not saying you're lacking about it. I'm just saying that the bugs are piling up, and before moving on to new content, that I feel has been properly addressed by now, we could do an alignment between the community and the Defiance Team, in an effort that would reward everybody: Trion would get a pulse of what really annoys people, fix it, pleasing everybody in the forums, and that would prevent new players from experiencing them, which is great.
It breaks my heart to see Markeen (and others) complain for the umpteenth time about trophies not unlocking on the PS3. It's a small thing? No, because it should never have happened in the first place, and when people complain about these kind of situations, they need to be addressed, no matter how small they are.
To see people repeatedly cry about the same bugs over and over again is grating. Of course there are things that are critical, but I think we would need a different kind of "Hellbug Hunt" from you, now. Come on, Defiance Team, think of it as an expedition: negotiate with corporate a special allotted time in your future, devoted ONLY to smash bugs, and nothing more. Before that, make a poll to establish the list and priorities of the bugs the community would like to see addressed first, so we can engage and take responsibility in the schedule, as well.
I really love this game and the interaction between the community and the team. Be assured these ideas are geared towards preserving them.
Can you at least take consideration in the time, thought and effort everybody puts in long messages like this, and think about it? That would be enough. Thanks.
Arkhunter, if you are reading this, and if you agree with these words, it's also your responsibility to convince Trion a "bugs first" stance is key to our quality of life. In the classic words of Starship Troopers: THE ONLY GOOD BUG IS A DEAD BUG!"
