Bag RNG System: Aging Poorly

'Let's see if purples drop' is getting old fast.

Every guild has a guy who's opened thirty bags and not gotten a single piece of gear out of them. My guildie has been doing PvP dailies and weeklies for a solid month and still doesn't have a mainhand lightsaber that's worth a damn.

There's another guy, same class, who is purpled out. These two guys have been running together this entire time; one is geared, the other is shafted.

There're a bunch of ways to fix this, but I think that the -best- way (that still remains reasonably easy to do) is to have a quest chain.

In progress, they may look like this!

Mercenary Warzone Mastery I:

DPS-focused Medals in Warzones: 22/36
Healing Medals in Warzones: 5/8
Complete Huttball passes, Ball Handler Kill Assists, Bomb Plants/Disarms, or Terminal Slices: 47/64

Sniper Warzone Mastery IV:

DPS-focused Medals in Warzones: 27/44
Solo Kill Medals in Warzones: 20/20
Complete Huttball passes, Ball Handler Kill Assists, Bomb Plants/Disarms, or Terminal Slices: 68/75

Reward: One piece of PvP tier gear, your choice. Each reptition of the quest, the numbers get a little larger; 38 intead of 36. NO BIG JUMPS. Progression, not sudden, irritating grindwalls.

Give people a real objective instead of 'get bag, hope for loot'.

And adding passes, plants and slices to this equation means even people who only want to kill will have a -good reason- to complete victory conditions instead of going straight for killing enemies. Don't say 'win games to get bags', say 'do these objectives to get gear'; winning games will progress naturally from people having a good reason to do objectives instead of just fight the enemy.

Random bags are not interesting, they're not fun, and they do not drive the player to do anything except -show up- for games. Yes, winning has incentive. No, winning does not have clear goals set before players who do not have the interest to play the gametypes.

Took me one hour to complete the ilum daily last night. Opened the bag and got my third damn implant. Im done with this game.

Or, just get to rank 60, which is incredibly easy, then choose what gear you'd like.

...That doesn't actually work?

Yay! Three coins in a bag, one bag per day! Three weeks' worth of effort getting Battlemaster bags to buy my Champion main-hand!

Also, Dude A does the same thing and gets bunches of Battlemaster gear, while Dude B doesn't get Battlemaster Gear. Dude A is now better! For no reason. Dude B could be a much better player. If that's the case (and Dude B will undoubtedly think it is at any rate) then Dude B will just ragequit.

The system works!

What a joke.

Tell me how im supposed to get to 60 when there is zero warzones spawning and no people that do pvp on Ilum.
