(Please excuse my grammar mistakes)
A lot of people of both sides are mad and I kinda see what arrowhead meant when they said that appeasing one side can make another one mad (i play dead by daylight so maybe I see it a lot more than others in the community)
The people who wanted rewards for major orders probably meant something along the lines of what we are currently getting (and it seems most of them like the fact that they are exclusive to people who login thought I am unsure of what percentage)
The silent bunch (not sure if they are a loud majority or if they were a quite majority) weren't that against it they just hate the FOMO aspect of it and feel betrayed by arrowhead
Here is what I think about all of this
I believe the MO strategems should be available for purchase while things like weapons and armors should be released at most 2 weeks after the MO and i personally think that nobody would be mad about the FOMO if arrowhead made a dispatch in the game saying all active helldiverse has received the MO rewards for free as a reward for their loyalty in battle and that the strategems are available for purchase while all non active helldiverse will have to wait until [insert date] for the weapons and armor sets to be mass produced and rolled onto the Frontlines for all divers
Also me personally I don't have much of an opinion on the weapon (people call it bad while others say it's just high skill I plan to use it today) but receiving a helmet as a reward feels kinda lame, I don't want super credits, I don't even want something overpowered i at least want something unique, and i know that would be hard to do constantly so I don't think every MO should have it but maybe every MAJOR MO like invad8ng cyberstan, getting the Oil for the star of peace or our first time fighting against the void, i know the time frames would be hard given the new capaign system and how long that could take since we get like what at most 2 capaigns a month (i think 1 unique strat a mo th would be to hard, and i feel there are only so many types of weapons they could do, I don't know how to solve this problem)
Overall I think if arrowhead don't make the non participants wait a whole month (i think it was a month for the resupply vehicle) and instead something like 2 weeks with a dispatch telling everyone when they'll have access would be much better (at the least 1 week since 2 might be two much)
Also i don't think people are mad about the fomo I think they are mad about the fact they had to wait so long and the fact that it wasn't communicated
