LOL 110m = crazy range.

Why don't we have mods that simply increase the range of weapons, anyway?

Because of Chromosome.

You mean the best build this game ever had?

Give the Gallente rifle a hard cap on range and the combat rifle incidental damage at max range the AR has now, and it's perfect.

Gallente rifle HAS a hard cap on range already....

Were we playing the same build?

I believe so.

I guess the difference is that same of us were winning.

Now that the skill mountain has been flattened I suppose any schmoe can feel like a winner.

See, you got it wrong. Last build was SP > Skill where you could load up on a bunch of passives that made your character good at everything. "Whee! I'm so skilled at my gun, I can make my bullets hit harder and fly further!"
Now, almost all the relevant passives are tied to your fitting, so you actually have to use your head. On top of that, you don't have your super sniper AR that you can blind fire across the map with. Instead, you need to stay with your squad and actually use teamwork instead of run-and-gun rambo everything. So now that you actually have to apply skills other then fast reflexes and the ability to shoot in a general direction, some people have gone from winning to whining.

All we need is fall-off.

Having a gun that fires a projectile/beam of hot light of some sort that does X damage up to Y metres distance then does zero damage at Y+0.0001 metres is ludicrous.

It's all about the fall-off.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is fall-off? Are you suggesting a very large range for all the weapons?

-Minmatar Combat Rifle: 50m CCP says it's going to be a burst-type rifle, so it needs to have a bit more range than Gallente AR so it's good at mid range and follows EVE autocannon turrets optimals.

They really need to have a fall off range. (all weapons)

I believe so.
