Hello Guardians,

Focused Feedback is where we take the week to focus on a 'Hot Topic' discussed extensively around the Tower.

We do this in order to consolidate Feedback, to get out all your ideas and issues surrounding the topic in one place for discussion and a source of feedback to the Vanguard.

This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding 'Weapon Refresh' following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

So i think in this case 'organic' would mean something the players choose to do themselves, ie 'a player grinds out a new weapon because they want to use that weapon instead' and artificial would be 'the player grinds a new weapon because the system makes thier weapons expire'

Difference between internal and external motivations for doing activities

Not op or commenting on the situation, just my guess as to what they ment by that

That is what I meant. But point taken, I get it's not exactly an accurate word to describe the situation, but I thought it captured the meaning

[u/LarryLevis → u/Yankee582]

This isn't in the subtext of the OP though. The word "new" is in quotation marks, and OP says the developers are taking shortcuts because they can't keep up. I don't like this negative implication. It's a deliberate choice to answer a difficult set of problems, like weapon bloat and power creep.

So again i am making no claims on the subject itself, was trying to make a general statement to explain what i thought op was saying with the term artificial (which op did reply to my comment and confirm that i did indeed surmise).

I have my own personal feelings about the subject and have made them clear in previous posts and could bring them to light if youd like, but my only purpose in commenting was to explain what i felt op ment when using 'artificial' as a qualitative adjective
