    Free drops in general should just never be used IMO, only time I've ever seen it useful is getting a CoA ring.

    Free mode should still stay an option - people just have to be more careful (not to impugn the original poster - it was unfortunate what happened and it's no way his fault). When I squad with my friend for reasons other than doing a BH (which, believe it or not guys, does happen) I set it to free because one of us is to get all the DQ items and one of us is to get all the mats, with other types of items going to whoever picks them up first.
    Yeah, when a friend and I were doing FB89 for apoc pages, we had to set it to free so one of us could pick up the ammo, and the other could pick up the DQs. We simply didn't have enough inventory space for both of us to keep stacks of all the ammo and DQs which drop there.

    But it would be nice if they changed the invite text color so it was obvious if the squad was free or random. I'm so used to grouping with faction members that I don't even bother checking the invite text anymore.

    It might also help if you could see your squad's distribution settings while in the squad, instead of having to rely on looking at the settings when getting the invite.

    Someone also mentioned how messed up it was that the squad stayed silent -- well that's because most people won't want to cause waves or ripples in the pond, or are too dumb to figure it out until it's spelled out for them. I've found in these cases once you explain to them, provided English is their native language and they have a comprehension level beyond a 3rd grader, they will end up thanking you for enlightening them. These sort of d.bags need to be publicly humiliated. Last week I did a tele over someone who did that and they were booted from their faction as it turned out there were other complaints about this person of the same nature getting molds this way. People who were and are passive about this just need a little kick in the backside.
