It's a legitimate question. Since when have missions ever not rewarded us with equipment? Thanks for the helpful response btw. It's people like you that make the forums such a welcoming and comfortable place.
I was surprised by this too, actually. The first time I got a mission done and that was it, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing. Then I realized the same thing you did.
The link to your 1998 era personal website in your signature does a better job of being creepy and unhelpful than anything Smashey has ever said.
I guess I’m failing to understand how this topic dissolved in to personally attacking the OP for really no reason.
