You do realize that to use the GEK you need :
Weaponry (1x) - Level 1
Assault Rifle Operation (2x)- level 3
It is normal that is going to be more powerful, and actually is the only gun that the Assault troops have, that can compete against the autocannon, force guns, shotguns, and so on.
Take that away from us, and we will became just sitting ducks for every one else.

(x)Operation- lvl 3 + Weaponry- lvl 1 is NOTHING in terms of SP investment. i had to skill to use heavies, skill up my weaponry, and buy and skill up for an HMG, representing WAY more SP and ISK invested.
it's not that i hate the gun, it's just so out of whack in terms of damage for that tier in relation to other weapons of that tier. i see some TRULY AWFUL players running around like idiots, and the ONLY thing that saves them is the GEK. so yes, if that is the case for you, i would dearly like to take that away from you, and force you to GET GOOD.
I average 18-4 K/D per battle, and 1200 WP per battle. Don't talk me about getting good mate. And i don't get that scores because the GEK. I use the "Burst rifle tier 2" allot too, and my scores are the same. |

Have you try playing as an Assault trooper ? Against :
- Nearly impossible to kill heavies with OP autocannons
- Fast scouts with OP shotguns
- Impossible to find snipers with OP rifles
- Forge guns that kills you in one shoot, and you don't even know where it come from.
Actually, the assault class is the hardest to master, and takes some real skills, to survive against so many over the top OP guns around you.
You sir have not idea what you talking about. |

No you haven't. The problem is that people with over the top OP guns, wants to kill assault troopers like flies. To they come across a "proper" assault guy, that has spend SP's in the right skills, and they get their A** kick by that little fly. I think that very annoys them. |
