I assume the weapon progression is tied to the XP farming block for coop solo. I am disappointed in this too. Could careless about farming XP but coop is great with friends in a stress free lag free match.
Honestly it seems that all the Devs panic when players find a way to finish their game quickly. And they panic rashly change things and it 99% of the time breaks something else on the game. And around and around we go. I've seen a bunch of awesome suggestions to combat this and stop game breaking changes. But I'm with you I bought this game for the first time to just play with friends and have a great time now we can't even do that lol. Kinda seems solly to worry about ppl finishing fast.
