They are not penalizing people. Its a broken ass system. Lost sectors only awarded people who got the final shot in and broke the containers. Instead of fixing the system they just removed it.

You can still do lost sectors solo,it is just now the people who prefer to play online together don't get penalized gor doing so.

[quote]👀look not everyone wants to hold hands while playing online. And yes you do sound stupid seeing as most online games have just as much solo content...[/quote] So because there are a few antisocial people the people who are social should be penalized for playing together? That is exactly how the old faction token reward system functioned. The new system still allows solo people to play solo AND allows people to play in a group without 2/3 not obtaining tokens. Tje only negative impact i see on solo players is nnow theu wont be abnle to just run past enemies, destroy supplies, run out, and then back in to do it all over again amassing crazy amounts of tokens in a boring, mind numbing manner. The funny thing about this is alot of the same people complaining about this change complain about how boring the game is, but then go on to willingly to boring things because it is the easiest way to get rewards while putting in the least amount of effort. I myself play solo about 90% of the time outside of the raid, but do occassionaly group up with my wife and a friend. During the faction rally I had the choice of playing with my wife and friend receiving 1/3 the tokens or playing solo to get full rewards. To be honest, the new system actually benefits both. Now instead of running through enemies,looking for random soaen locations for supplies, and stopping to shoot supplies. You run past the enemies, kill 1 enemy, collect rewards. Before I complain about a change I actually think about how the change effects me as a solo player and a team player. Personally, I can run past enemies and kill a target to unlock a chest alot faster than I could hunt down supplies to destroy. Even though I can speed past enemies to get they chest faster, I choose not to, there is alot of xp to be earned towards bright engrams off of easy to kill enemies on the way and takes me at the most a minute longer to kill the enemies in my direct path to my target. So instead of 2 minutes to get just the chest reward, I'm taking 3 minutes (4 if I'm screwing off) and getting 1-2k xp and a chest reward.

How exactly does others playing solo ruin a game for you?

Im ok with that. I enjoy group content. Lost sectors is a great way to fill time while your waiting for a world quest to start.
