If this gets nerfed (and I am pretty sure it will), it will be only because of people like you Sarakin. Thank you, thanks to all the people crying about things you "worked hard" on and other people have it as well.
Why shouldn't they? Afraid that this gets nerfed? But it's all just tactics
How the fuck sake, shooting npcs can be consider abuse? O_o In your thinking enclave should be immortal, and never drop anything. So why keep them in game? Just remove any good stuff from any npc, and leave only tc rewards for gangs. This game is dead anyway, so why not?
And yes, loner should never have best stuff available, best stuff should be obtained only through teamwork.
If the first thing that comes to your mind is that players should dual log, level themselves a sneak sniper alt able to do only this task and then grind them with as little gear as possible then okay, seems like we got a bit differend view what's a fun and good feature.
The problem is that except this method there is no other way for a loner to obtain that stuff. There were dynamites and c4 in the past, but you can't craft it anymore (another broken feature).
