So we now have many options to find mid tier and non statted high tier loot, both in PVE and PVP. That includes Glow, Warehouse, Ares, and the new Reno box.
But what we are lacking is the chance to find statted top tier loot and rares. I looted warehouse locker about 100 times and the best thing I've gotten was a statted CAmk1. Went to Ares about 3 times, one of which was a full clear after the changes to Ares and we found one suit of CAmk2 that was statted, the rest of the stuff was junk (for me). Glow spawns the usual mid tier stuff, nothing special that can't be crafted. New Reno locker is a step in the right direction, but is yet another mid tier loot locker. We have enough options for that. The only option right now is to grind desert for special encounters with a high outdoorsman character. That gets boring fast and contributes nothing to the multiplayer aspect of the game. There is no incentive to PVP. No one cares about caps so people are hesitating to stop grinding and do TC. And no one cares about mid tier loot since most of it can just be crafted easily, so they don't organize themselves for runs to those locations. PVP is essentially dead right now, and the only action going on is at Hinkley.
I want to suggest two changes. First, bring back ghost town, add some NPCs there to prevent bluesuit looters, make it a PVP hotspot, and put a higher tier locker there. Not as good as Reno locker was last session, but also not as bad as the warehouse locker is now. Need to find something in between. It should spawn implants and HPA and all that good stuff, but the chances of it spawning should be MUCH lower than it was last session. The second change I wanted to suggest is in regards to TC. Allow stuff like brotherhood, enclave, desert armors to spawn there without stats, as well as non statted XL's, Pancors, Avengers, and other stuff like that (NOT gauss rifles, vindis, or any other rares). This will not make them too overpowered, but will create more incentive to do TC.
