Ah, I couldn't see someone else responded. Couldn't see that on my mobile while out and about.

I think the Caldari players handled the SCR pretty well for a long time. Most of my squadmates and corpmates were Caldari and we would always warn our brothers of who were the SCR users on the battlefield, never taking them straight on. I might see a complaint here and there, back then on the forums, but it wasn't that loud.

Also Caldari players had limited weapon choices. For me, since my origin was assault, it was the AR. The GEK was trusty and we dealt with players complaining about that until its nerf. The old saying "to beat a thing, you must become that thing" didn't work with us. To use a SCR was pointless and to many, it wasn't Caldari so why use it?

Then we finally got our prize weapon, the RR. And boy, did people band together to get that nerfed. We looked at the complaints baffled. For so long we dealt with LRs and SCRs that melted us like hot butter but oh no, the RR is too OP and we must change that. Gotta love those double standards.

Still, even after the nerf of RR, folks still didn't complain about SCR as much as people who faced our RR. But words keep getting tossed around such as "in the effort of balance". Well, if we going to talk about a balance, then SCR needs to be put on that chopping block as well. It has had a nice run, especially the Viziam. But its not on par with other rifles. To simply say "git gud" is stupid. That mentality should have been there when you complained about the RR.

Of course people might read that as a vindictive nerf, but on the contrary its not. True Caldari players have toughed it out on the battlefield against weapons that would absolutely decimate our shield defenses quickly while having their preferred dropsuits and weapons nerfed because the opposition or better yet, General Discussions, wouldn't git gud.

Besides the background information in response to Caldari players need to stop QQing quote, which we have not for the longest of time, the SCR needs to be looked at in the effort of balance
