Some Anthem players are fed up with its punishing and tight-fisted endgame loot grind and the slow progress BioWare is making toward fixing it. To voice their concerns, people on the Anthem subreddit are organizing a boycott to get their point across. This comes after a bug dramatically increased the rate at which players earned coveted Masterwork and Legendary-tier items for a short period last weekend. A few hours later, BioWare fixed the bug with the release of their 1.0.3 patch—but players have made it loud and clear: Anthem was more fun when it was raining loot.

"Protest the loot drop changes. Bring back the bug and let us taste the lootshower," reads one of the most popular posts on the Anthem subreddit currently. Written by redditor 'Afinda,' this thread encourages players to organize and stop playing Anthem starting March 11 until March 15 to send a message that players aren't happy about BioWare's lootless loot shooter. "Get your point across, simple as that," writes Afinda. "Stop Playing the game for a whole week (hopefully with the support of the entire subreddit) to show BioWare that all it'd take for us to really enjoy the game is to receive loot."
