Hi @EA_Jesse I'll give you some feedback.
So, the mods i feel are great, the reason a lot of my guild and people are walking away from the game is because it has drastically changed the stats of a character and makes people feel like all they have worked for and towards has been nullified. This feeling has been amplified by the apparent nerf to potency in the t7 raid and also towards the dev response of making the top tier non raid mods even harder to acquire.
A fix to this IMO would be to revert the mod challenge rewards back to 100%. and give everyone a set of maxed out tier 5 mods as a starting point for their squads. That way we can keep the new system and carry on grinding tier 7 raids as before. I would say this should be done for all players at lvl 80 then like a tier 4 for 75+ tier 3 70+ tier 2 60+ and tier 1 for 50+. This would level the playing field and allow people the freedom to delve into mods without being at too much of a disadvantage.
