DUST Search - The Vote!!!!!!

So people, this thread is very simple, im going to put down a bunch of posts below this one. If you "like" the post then you agree with the message it depicts. So for example, one post will say "Mass drivers need a nerf" if you agree you'll finger hump that like button. Another post right underneath will say "Mass drivers DONT need a nerf" if you agree you'll finger hump thatttt like button.

Now..... BEFORE you all call me out for "like whoring" ill switch to another character

to put up the votes.

Also, these votes will mostly include controversial weapons sooooo AR's, Snipers, Forge guns, SR's, Mass drivers. Ill look to add more, but depending on how many people post it might be impossible. I will keep a tally at the top so you guys don't have to scroll down or anything. (though the tally wont come unless the thread is semi-popular enough), Other then that, feel free to discuss what you guys thinks needs a balance pass over! Also, if you feel I missed something critical, feel free to voice that in the usual troll like fashion!

(CHANGE OF PLANS, I will be like whoring unfortunately, you cant post faster then once every 5 minutes on a "new" account..... (even though my second character is just as old as this one.......)). Yeah.... I didn't want to do that, but apparently some people like spamming the forums with new accounts? Oh well, ive only ever seen CCP do a vote system like this before and I want to see how you guys respond to it.

SO WHY DID I MAKE THIS THREAD??? (so I don't have to answer everyone that's too narrowminded to imagine why one at a time): One of the biggest problems with these forums is that opinions are always changing, and are never the same from person to person. Each of the posts below are neutral in every way. I don't imply that one answer is more correct then the other, its just a list of 10 statements, and hopefully you choose five of them to agree with. What this does is, it allows us to see just how people feel about the weapon mentioned in the statement, without us having to read often biased/ignorant opinions as to "why" the voter feels the way they do.

So basically its a BS filter. This is a place where, hopefully, people can get an idea of public opinion without having to read more then just a couple of lines. Honestly I wish CCP would put more vote threads up like they did back when they changed the SP system. They put up a few ideas, and depending on how the public looks at it, they act on that idea. Right now its just a cluster of "this game is awful, this is OP" threads. This thread, to my knowledge, is unique because I haven't seen anyone outside of CCP attempt it. You can call me a "like *****" all you want, but trust me..... I don't really care about how many likes I can get when im sitting in the same forums that have people with over 3000...... But if you think I am that shallow, then feel free to NOT vote. That's your choice.

THE CURRENT TALLY (subject to change over time)

AR's NEED A NERF
YES: 8
NO: 14
MAS DRIVERS NEED A NERF
YES: 11
NO: 10
FORGE GUNS NEED A NERF
YES: 21
NO: 8
SCRAMBLER RIFLES NEED A NERF
YES: 0
NO: 26
LOCUS GRENADES NEED A NERF
YES: 11
NO: 11

In addition somebody posted "vehicles need a price reduction" and that has 14 votes too. Now, there isn't a counter vote for it because I didn't post it, but I think that's mildly interesting too.
