I was going to write something, but you said it just fine for me. I'll add also that the uniform experience is added to by the fact you always start in the forest biome and the RWG maps have almost identical biome layout. I too loved how a bit of good or bad luck with loot or starting location would make each game unfold differently.
I said I find it boring but I also stated exactly why. I dislike how easy it is to get quality 5 and 6 items, they should be very rare, not a forsure thing every loot box I open. Like it was in a18, I do like the tiering though, with iron stuff not showing till gamestage 25 or 30, but the change to get quality 4-6 items needs a major nerf back to a18's levels. I love 7dtd in a18 for the randomness its introduced, with schematics meaning I don't have to waste points in intel if I am willing to play with rng to get the schematics for what I need. The current loot setup in a19 with how easy it is to find quality 6 items, means crafting has less of a purpose now, as if I wait I can get a tier 6 in every loot box I open for free.
This is what I was saying, the current a19 loot setup makes every playthru essentally the same, it was the major issue I had with a17 as well, since you were forced down certain stat paths to get things. I don't mind the tiering, but yeah, quality 4-6 items should be very rare drops no matter what your gamestage is. Compared to now where its a forsure thing if gamestage is above X.
I do play mods, waiting for darkness falls to hit for a19, then i'll probably be playing that over vanilla as its actually balanced properly compared to vanilla, plus adds a entire new tier above steel something the vanilla game has needed since before a16.
My post was not directed at you, the CMs, or devs in any way Roland, it was directed at the poster I responded to and everyone else that has the mentality of "if you don't like it then leave".....sorry if you read into it differently.
