DUST Search - Why This Officer Event Is Seriously Flawed

Quote:

I feel as though I am being robbed of salvage after battles. I can go several matches killing a bunch of enemies & vehicles and not get nothing in salvage even when I'm ranked in the top 5 on my team and even worse when I'm 1st. I know on occasion I've gone 10+ matches without receiving a thing in salvage. When I do get salvage the vast majority of it is stuff I'll never use. Though my squad mates tend not to have this problem. For example my CEO has 70 Balac's Assault Rifles, yet I have 10; he has 90 Krin's yet I have 6. We've pretty much skilled into the same things (such as the AR skills), I play the game a lot more than him, and generally I rank higher than he does. Yet rarely does he end a match without getting something in salvage while I rarely end a match getting something in salvage. This has gone on both in the Chromosome build and the current Uprising build. At first i didn't really mind but everyday that passes I start to feel more & more ripped off. It makes me wonder what's the point risking isk (often more than what can be earned in multiple matches) on helping the team win if I'm not going to be rewarded for taking that risk. I'm not asking for much. I don't want all that gear I could have had or it's value in isk. I just want to be rewarded for the risk I take and for CCP to look into the salvage system to make sure it works perfectly for everybody because with the number of people that play this game odds are I'm not the only one getting ripped off.

I've been complaining about it since Chrome and the most I've gotten from people was the equivalent of "tough sh!t", even from CCP. Here's the copy-n-paste from a ticket I submitted June of last year. Quote: I feel as though I am being robbed of salvage after battles.

Got told the support tickets wasn't the place for that and to put it in the feedback section of the forums, which I did but nothing ever came of it. But that just goes to show how fcked up the salvage system is, I mean in June of last year my CEO at the time had 160 officer weapons just with the AR's alone, then there was all the Cala's, Wolfman's, Thale's, Gatsun's FG's & HMG's he had. If he had the skills for it he could have played a whole day losing officer weapons and still have some leftover. Edit: Of course they've tweaked the salvage system since then but I still rarely get salvage. I think the thing I get most when I do get salvage is locus grenades but I haven't fitted a fcking locus grenade in over a year (excluding the ones on start fits but I usually forget about them).
