I'm just going to throw it out there, I really have no respect for the GEK Assault Rifle. Honestly, it's incredibly boring seeing the kill-feed mention the GEK so often and while it might just be rumor (I refuse to use the thing because I find it to be a cliche) but the GEK having less recoil than the Duvolle seems... Odd.

Not saying it's over-powered, or needs some kind of change by any means but the fact that my corp-mates and I have recently undergone an initiative to discourage recruitment of those that "specialize" in using Assault Rifles goes to show just how much distaste I find in the weapon itself. Incidentally enough, I have absolutely no issue with any other Rifle - just the GEK.

Perhaps it's just that so little skill is involved in using it (ADS, shoot) and it does it's job so effectively and with such versatility.. Maybe it's just because it's so common. I'll never know, I just simply can't take anyone who uses it seriously. Alternatively, it could be because of the forums having such a vanguard defense of the weapon itself while criticizing other weapons (HMG, Shotgun and Laser Rifles being the popular choice) for their effectiveness.

I'm sure I can't be the only one that feels this way.

E.) Weapon Recoil. IMO, the weapon recoil should decrease as you rise in Tiers. Damage up, recoil down. This just makes more sense as the weapon (and the player) evolves over time and becomes easier to use as you put in more skill-points and specialize in what the weapon has to offer, regardless of my views of the weapon being "unspecialized". It would encourage players to use the Duvolle a lot more and while it wouldn't technically be a nerf (though I'm sure some of you are going to have red tampons simply because I said the word) it would scale better with the rest of it's weaponry.
