'Cavity' Thukker Locus Grenade

Splash Damage: 600.0 HP
Blast Radius: 5.4 m
Max. Ammo: 3

COST: 5 AUR

Unlike normal grenades, thukker grenades explode on contact.

What does this mean? It means that you no longer need to cook your grenades, you can instead use them as a panic device. All you have to do is throw them in the general area of an enemy, and they will instantly explode. This allows you to use them mid combat without much danger, since your enemy will not be able to outrun them, and you won't be vulnerable while trying to cook your grenade for the perfect amount of time. This means you also no longer run the risk of blowing yourself up, unless you're insanely unlucky, stupid, or both.

These grenades don't exist for ISK, and nothing that "explodes on contact" exists for ISK. And if you want to say that eventually you can buy it for ISK, please keep in mind that anything that sells for AUR with be EXTREMELY expensive for ISK, not practical for something like grenades.

CCP, please remove these items, or drastically lower their strength. 600 instant damage in a descent radius is enough to kill the majority of players, with 0 skill required on the part of the user.

I say that this is the ONLY case of pay 2 win, because the rest (as far as I can tell) falls into pay for advantage, giving you an edge, not an instant kill item.

let us not use a hammer when a scalpel could be more useful. Not need to get over dramatic.

rather, CPP, please test these internally and see how they work with 300/350/400 splash damage and please look at the blast radius, please experement with 4m/4.5m/5m. Also please make a variant of these grenades available for ISK as well.

Thank you

(Do you see how this is a much better post)

Stop using nerf, start asking for tweaks to items. If you nerf something then it becomes unusable. Also in comparision to the rest of the grenades its not so bad. Sorry you have a hard time with these grenades, but the rest of us don't. CCP please don't listen to one players rant, do a poll ask us all what we think and offer many options to have this cleared up. Also if this item was an ISK item would you be as mad? Don't think so, so it's not really the AUR its the fact you got killed by it and it happens to be an AUR item.

Classic Well then take that part out and I will change it :P lol You know what I mean anyways Dust Fiend.
