I have the stance that the decision to slow down the Metallic Rifle's rate of fire was a good one that should have stayed. In regard to your thread though, Flara: your third option is confusing. Currently all projectiles on iZone travel at the same speed. I think you may have worded that incorrectly. Did you mean, revert it back to a slower rate of fire, or make it semi-automatic(meaning that you have to repeatedly tap the fire button, instead of holding it down)?
And in regard to the suggestions that she use the in-game 'feedback' option, I believe her goal was to make public discussion on the matter, in hopes that like-minded individuals would comment in favor of her argument in order to add more support. Additionally, the 'feedback' option usually doesn't result in a reply from staff in matters like this. Generally speaking, if it's an inquiry that has already been addressed, it is brushed off, and assumed that the plaintiff will find resources such as these forums to get the answer. In this situation, the inquiry has not only been addressed, but it's also been changed and reverted back because of popular vote.
Forums have a sometimes brutal way of answering such inquiries, as showcased in this thread. But I have to say, it was mighty bold of you to bring this recently debated hot-button issue back to the table. The people on these forums have already protested the change with enough force to revert it. While I stand with you on the matter of having a slower Metallic Rifle, one must also understand that Graal is a a culture where majority rules, in care of player count preservation.
