lol this thread
lol this balancing
lol this pricing

There's no way to properly balance the gun balance/pricing system at its current state without pissing a lot of people off. Had guns been at least remotely close to each other in pricing, then balancing guns would be peachy, to the point where anyone with an inklet of a clue about the gameplay can properly balance the game. The gameplay mechanics of Era are so basic and barebones; it's not the fact that the staff can't statistically balance the weapons in such a barebones game. That's the easy part.

The problem lies with the pricing. After the ridiculously outrageous prices were set on guns such as the likes of the BAR or PBP, you've crossed the event horizon. The point of no return. Nerfing these weapons to bring them in line with the rest of the low- and mid-tier weapons is essentially scamming everyone who previously purchased them, and keepin them in their current state makes the people who can't afford the weapons at a severe disadvantage. I usually don't say this, but...

iEra is a pay to win game at its finest.
