I have never seen any of the guys that support the assault rifle say there should be no respecs ever
In fact I see a lot of names that cry nerf the ar also cry no respecs

Niche players gotta step their game up such as tankers crying they get blown up when they park next to a CRU to farm kills or scouts crying they get killed so easily ever since hit detection was fixed shattering their egos and idea they were just super bad ass ninjas that couldnt be touched

But lets the tears flow like whine, when the range on the AR gets brought down to ten meters like you whiners want Ill still have the scrambler rifle, combat rifle, and rail rifle
Or did you guys forget those will be added when the AR changes come and everyone of those weapons has a better range

Do YOU have any idea what you are talking about?

Expecting to win just because you put down more isk is the definition of pay to win and is something that should be discouraged at all costs

Also Scouts =/= Nova Knives, I shouldnt have to explain that a drop suit is not a weapon and though I know a lot of scouts cry they cant do anything their mobility is unmatched, I can easily hop over a railing in a scout suit I need a running start to vault in a medium and if Im in a heavy forget about it
Now if you ask me if that mobility is well utilized by a lot of people I will say hell no, a lot of scouts I see still try to play like hit detection for all guns was broken and try to charge head on with a shotgun bunny hopping along the way
On the other hand if you ask me if our current map design allows for that mobility to be used in creative ways Ill say no it doesnt and current maps should be reworked if possible and future maps designed with areas only scouts can reach and pass through which would drastically increase their effect in the field
But as I said that is a map problem, not a problem inherent in the scout suit itself, just as the abundance of wide open spaces makes the HMG less effective since theres enough space to dodge easily and engage from outside its effective range on most maps
Ive noticed heavies are more adaptable though and have taken to cruising in LLAVs and jumping out right next to you which drastically minimizes their vulnerability window and eliminates the range disadvantage

You cannot balance with ISK.

Just because tanks are expensive, does not mean they are a magical trump card, nor should they be.

Tanks should be strong because they are tanks, not because they are expensive.
