Regarding the spammability of grenades, I would suggest making them only restockable at a supply depot and not at nanohives.
Also possibly reduce the grenade count to 2.

I was considering mentioning this too, but people are really touchy about nerfing their grenade-throwing so I was trying to use the scalpel and not the hammer here. Although, those same people defending nades are probably the ones most heavily benefiting from their current state. I'm not gonna lie, I use them too as a means of "countering" but I've begun to realize just how ridiculous it is, and they seriously need to be retuned.

You know why I am defending them, because it has taken me 2 months or more to learn how to cook them just right to still get the bunny hopper who can avoid most of the damage if it lands on the ground.

2 months is hardly how long it takes to max out grenades, nor is it an effective argument. Your only argument seems to be "No don't nerf my IWIN button because it took me a while to get it."

Wakko03 Better Hide R Die D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 297	Posted - 2013.08.01 23:23:00 - [1] - Quote As I said in another thread, no - this is a really bad idea. I use my core locus when more than 1 enemy comes from me, and to dislodge the massive blob of mass driver flux users... just like those users they keep telling me when I question why I have to use a exile because ccp said my logi suit had too much cpu. Don't get into that situation where you are standing still for my grenade to hit you. The M8's are salvage only and are used to take on Heavies in PC Battles and you only get 1 as salvage. I also made the choice to use a cpu upgrade so I could gimp my armor for the ishukone gauaged nano-hive, why because 9/10 times nobody else throws out a nano hive. Grenades are fine as long as tanks lav and dropships are in every mode and I have to deal with them and the infantry, not to mention that I often have to face 5 to 6 heavies at one time with forge guns and HMGs.

Your only argument seems to be "No don't nerf my IWIN button because it took me a while to get it." Really, do the math 1.4 million SP on top of the other skillpoints required for dropsuits & dropsuit upgrades, then you have to fit them into a suit - they say over in GD that it takes 4-5 million sp to make a good suit. You get 190,000 in active a week and about 160,000 in passive so that is about 360,000 SP a week without any boosters so right there it is about a month to just get 1.4 million up. So show me a player that gives over on anything else but getting grenades right out of the bat for the iWin button. And read what I actually wrote, it took me 2 months to learn how to cook them properly to get the kills I do get with all levels of the grenades.
