Bottom line CPM is not trying to balance anything, CPM is trying to show CCP there is a need for balance.
The fact that you are trying to single out a weapon as needing balance is you trying to balance something. You may not be handing CCP numbers specifically, but you are calling for something to be done, and using your role as CPM to do that is frankly bullshit in my opinion. If CCP wants a thread, they are fully capable of making one themselves (see: all the stickies in general discussion and the SP cap thread from a while back).
For you to be leveraging your behind-closed-doors time with CCP to balance individual pieces of the game is unfair to others. Members of the CPM have already shown that they either don't play much or don't specialize broadly/deeply enough to have an understanding of how particular items work in which case I wouldn't trust them with being able to separate legitimate from biased feedback coming from the community, while other CPM members have shown a pervasive bias toward other members of the community and would gladly "ruin" items they felt would hurt people they didn't like, in which case the CPM being involved in any hidden balance discussions would be detrimental to the game for the sake of an individual's personal vendetta.
I'm all fine for you to be trying to gather info as a player, but to be using the CPM in the way you have only makes it look like these discussions are happening away from the community, and I am not a fan of the road this is going down. The CPM members, even collectively, are not equipped with the knowledge necessary to make legitimate calls for balance. |

I'll post something on topic here:

I think it is too. With hit detection still being questionable, aiming messed up, and range all screwed up, flailing about with balance just because people found a gun that actually works during all the problems is a bad idea. |

However when commands like
"Everyone train for TARs" start popping up from various groups there is a need for some concern.
You're right. Something is broken in that instance. However, when fundamental game mechanics, such as hit detection and a player's ability to aim, are in question, I think that's a better direction to look than to start messing with items that people "adapted" to in order to still play with all the problems.
Remember heavies and strafe speed being nerfed when we still had no lag compensation? You're repeating that right here with this thread. You're focusing on the items rather than the mechanics. |
