Ultimately, I don't think there are many people who will have decided to not play TFS because of this specific decision, so it's not really going to lose them a number of players significant enough to warrant any changes. As many people have already said, putting all the loot out at once means players will blitz through it, get 5/5 God rolls on everything in the first 2 weeks, complain that there's nothing to do and then disappear for the remainder of the event. Between time-gating and that, it's pretty much a lose-lose for what is otherwise looking to be a good win. Those are the people being most vocal about this, as seen on these forums. It's worth remembering that the time-gating only affects the availability of the "shiny" variants. While they're desirable for rarity and double perks, the majority of players are going to be content with their chosen roll on a normal version. While they are allowed to voice their opinion the same as anyone else, someone who wants to chase the 5/5 "shiny" of all 12 guns can't act like their views are representative of the whole playerbase, or even a large part of it. If the one you want most happens to be the last one released then of course that sucks, but with what we've been told, 2 weeks should be enough time to get it.
