Cause some beta testers had thought it was to close to the Merc Pack's Fused Grenade, you know, instant kills.
Yet RE were MUCH dangerous to use, for risk of killing yourself by trying to throw it over a hill, to get more distance then what is normally achieved ( also point to them being nerfed ), and the guy and just shot the RE and killing whatever suit you were wearing, Always costing you money, although could be very cheap at the time with just militia and RE to run around making lots of ISK
But I've still managed to get kills with them, although in the new build with squads, it's much more worth it to have injector on a scout suit as mine. But they'll be back when i upgrade suits tomorrow |

I myself haven't seen a RE kill yet, seems nobody bothers with them anymore.. called it when I found out they were reducing the capacity to 2, no reason to pick it over anything else at that point.
Yeahh, the only reason i might carry them at some point is new suit with more CPU & PG. |

It isn't as bad now, i can only get 2 of the 4 or 5 spots i've seen someone spawn.
2 RE + people spawning = death and WAR POINTS! WOAHHH!!  |

In other words, when they could be thrown far, there were too many of them, now that they limp at your feet, there are far too few to be of any practical use.
other then speed suit around in circles till timer is ready and blow people up.
It still happens with the long timer now.. kinda saddens me.. |
