this is getting Ridiculous

[ispano]

So you'd rather do content once a week and not have it drop at all?
Your idea of fun is amazing!

I never said a specific drop, like CT. I meant for something to drop AT ALL. Typically for top end content, if you have it unlocked, the drop rates are not 100%. And even if they're really low, people blow through the content in very little time.

Then don't. When Coil 1 was unlocked I didn't force myself to do turns I didn't like all day every day.

Read above.

They do. The cons vs pros of of a free system have discussed multiple times here. "People will get gear too fast!!!" is a weak argument versus "the ability to play with your friends" and "the ability to play all weak and peace youself".

No, they don't. Most people only look at what they think they want. They never look at it from other people's views or even the developer's views. If unlocked content was such a great idea, why hasn't there been any decent games which used that system? Besides the lack of difficulty, and having to deal with trolls and whatnot in CT, why do many of us find CT boring as hell?

You have to understand, something being difficult or gated or whatnot, is not the same as intentionally making something difficulty or pacing yourself.
