The weapons were designed with rarity in mind so they were borderline op in even the most scrub of scrub players and more so in experienced hands. Having people able to farm them to the point where they could officer gear all day every day was a horrible idea.

My problem with this is the pros can still buy endless amounts of it, and can afford to do so. All it really did was take officer away from the poor (they need to trade it for isk to afford adv/proto gear) and put it solely into the hands of the rich. Officer gear rate should be increased from boxes and EOM, even added to mission rewards now. Obviously it should not have been given from the warbarge to start with, because now there is no easy solution.

Nope, only for as long as stock lasts, and every day means less officer gear in circulation.
Thor Odinson42 Sinq Laison Gendarmes Gallente Federation 7	Posted - 2015.12.29 18:08:00 - [9] - Quote I guess I just see the current state of the game on the PS3 and the uncertainty of a port as a reason to inject fun into the equation as much as possible. Trading was fun. Officer gear was fun. I'm skeptical that we'll be able to take assets if there is a port. I see more harm than good in taking officer weapons out of the lab. Nevermind the ridiculous money I spent on a warbarge that absolutely does nothing for me.

Nevermind the ridiculous money I spent on a warbarge that absolutely does nothing for me. It was fun for the few who had the skill and isk for it, but it's hysterically over powered for everybody else. Items meant to be rare suddenly became common enough that some were dominating the field beyond reason.

That and it was never really a circulation, you'd use one Darth then find a different Darth. Would be cool if there were actually a set number of them, and if they were all in our inventories they couldn't be found anymore until someone loses one.

People with a billion plus isk really don't mind, it means only they can horde them. It also means they no longer have to worry about the plebeians with 50m isk spamming them.

Kierkegaard Soren Eridani Light Horse Battalion 1	Posted - 2016.01.02 16:50:00 - [18] - Quote Officer spam was a real problem. Seeing them dominate the killfeed in PC and Factionals feels fair, but when they were prolific enough to saturate pub domination games something had to be done with them, and cutting them out of the warbarge was the simplest, cleanest solution. I don't miss them in that regard. Also, "fun" is a relative concept. The pro-squads who used them probably had a whale of a time cutting through the chaffe, but the rest of us on the recieving end...not so much fun to be had. Dedicated Commando.

I wish they'd sent me an email so I wouldn't have such a large inventory of stuff that nobody is using.
Shamarskii Simon The Hundred Acre Hood 562	Posted - 2016.01.05 17:50:00 - [22] - Quote Remember the days where a balac's AR in the kill feed was like "woah, officer." Then a balac's + cala's had you like "this person is serious" ... It was fine then... It was rare and you were kinda surprised to see it in game. You felt good in the victory/defeat screen when you got 3x officer. But now? You kinda just shrug. It's not the same feeling. You see officer, you're like "meh..." or "great :/" You see it in your victory/defeat screen... You're like "well... Saved a few isks" It's just not the same... Yu feel? Potential Pilot Proposal? Yes!

You could get weapon types as officer version that you cant get as experimental.

I'm soaking so much components into factory, I never claim lab anyway... But if I did, the change benefits me as I don't run scoped rails. Gêå You want a toe? I can get you a toe dude.
