They're not gonna do anything cuz they're greedy but it would make sense to do something. I got 500+ mk4 carbanti when I need like 1k mk3s. Got 4k mk4 stun guns when I need mk5s. They say it's to promote gearing smartly but when they keep releasing legendaries that have been requiring higher gear levels, they haven't increased gear payouts to reflect the increase in gear requirements. The game has changed a lot in the past year alone and the gear needs to change too
Edit: with TW and TB, etc, there are more avenues for gear but the boxes are random and I for one continue to get gear I don't need
