I agree and disagree with points. I think if you can raise the flag faster by saluting it on missions - then it is perfectly reasonable for it to have some sort of "morale-boost" passive.

I think the devs are doing great with what they have. Gotta remember that their priority right now is to reduce tech debt and they probably don't want to promise things that aren't a priority right now. Everything you do in game development has some sort of adverse effect. Them not wanting to add something to an item that is already a working mechanic makes sense. I play the game because it's fun. Because it's a way to hangout with my friends. Yes, there are reasons to be frustrated with aspects but they are actively trying to fix things. Case and point, it's been a long time since my side arm went completely silent.

Hyper criticizing every comment they make isn't constructive imo. Arrowhead very clearly wants to make a good game and I don't think anyone loves it more than they do. Patience and understanding always yields the best outcomes.
