Defiance: Co-op Arenas & Other PvP Improvements Incoming

Trion has updated the Defiance blog with a cool post laying out the details about big improvements in PvP. Among other things, the Leaderboard system has been overhauled to make tracking progress much simpler. While the overall scoring system is simpler, new ways of tracking progress are being implemented to give players minute-to-minute feedback in a pair of areas: Teamwork and Opportunist. Players will also have new incentives for participation in PvP.
Most interestingly, Trion has also announced cooperative arenas:
After Gunslinger goes live, you can battle through any arena as a group, sharing kill scores while receiving individual rewards for skill shots and special events (this does mean that a group of four players will DESTROY any of their individual scores in arenas prior to Gunslinger Trials!). The new arenas also present a wider variety of challenges and environments and give opportunities for all types of players and play styles to shine.
On top of all this, they also contain story elements and objectives. They’ll feature all-new combat encounters in environments both new and familiar, from the interior of a newly crashed arkfall to a fateful showdown with Dekuso and his newly upgraded Raider minions.

Defiance is dead for me until they add Refill grenades back to the Locker Boxes, I am done with Defiance, it was a decent game, not the best, but honestly not worth playing now Trion really has no idea what they are doing with it or what to do with the game which killed the game and the experience for me.
I purchased collectors edition of this game expecting something good from it but instead hit high level cap got bored quit playing after finishing main story, and quit for sure after they removed grenade refills from ammo lockers.
I got it a few weeks back. Funny thing is that I have been playing this more than the WS and ESO beta's.
Is it shallow? Yeah!
Is it fun? Hell yeah!
Will I get tired of it? Probably, but it did better than ither of the two betas...
This update isn't worth the time it took to type it.
Again: The only option to save Defiance and something I can't believe they have not done, is a complete PvP overhaul...I've said it multiple times now: this games story screams open world, faction based pvp...why are they so adament to avoid implementing a *real* pvp system? I mean its a shooter/mmo FFS...add some real PvP and stop messing around with a worthless, pointless system.
lol- i think that as well...i mean it has its console players but destiny & Titan fall?..well you knwo how this goes..
