I’m not proud of it, but I called this way-back-when ( with a dash of salt at the time as I could see it was bollox 
)
Their original idea was that all stats moved together uniformly, which just showed a lack of forethought as that wouldn’t be possible with a 380 stat cap.
I’m relieved that many of us will just be able to flog inventory accrued over time to speed the process up. But I still think their idea of double RNG on base items is utterly stupid. It’s like they’ve just not learned from 2 years of forum bashing.
Simple solution, let people buy the points they want in each stat; and charge us for selling them back too (to allow adjustments). There you go. Deterministic grind. Hell… have weapons DETERIORATE as we use them, so we need to keep spending money to hone them.
We’ll end up with 2-3 “meta” layouts, depending if people want damage, reload, or mobility, and happy days - we’ve all then got Red-Equivalent stats builds.
