i heard from some people that you said you were "thinking about it"
The CPM held a discussion with both Remnant and Wolfman yesterday -- there's still a lot of discussion around this point so nothing's confirmed at all. The CPM in fact argued against removing sidearms from scouts - as they believe with the introduction of cloaking - it would be a healthy complement to be able to equip both Nova Knives and another weapon. The part you left out is they are now considering removing the grenade instead, which would be even worse. Why do scouts need to lose anything to gain the cloak (and thus second equipment)? I thought the whole point of adding the cloak was because you needed to make scouts better, so why do they need to trade anything?
I did not state anything about 'the way things are' when it came to scouts, I am not that totally irresponsible.
I asked the scouts over on the board on their thoughts about if it came down to trading 'what if' grenade slot instead? It was met with equally valuable opinions (I do not go by numbers but by logic) Since then I backed off that option as the argument for grenades where equally useful in the advent just as useful as the flux grenades appeared in the future and pushing for just adding an equipment slot just for the heck of it at no trade. There was a reason why it was time critical statement then the other day on the board.

I never said anything about you IWS, and I never said that the grenade slot is now getting taken away, I said it was being considered. And truthfully, that doesn't mean a whole lot since a lot of things get considered. But yes, I applaud you for taking a firm stance on this issue. 
No but word of mouth distorts things easily. Send a horse through 50 people and it comes out to be a my little pony voodoo zebra that rhymes every time it talks at the end.
