Staff, stop saying that you can't make major buffs and nerfs because people will complain. You need to learn that whatever you do there will always be a ton of complaints. If it makes the game better, just ignore complaints about it because complaints about buffs/nerfs are a natural thing amongst games like this. So if an overhaul is necessary, then by gosh listen to no one and do it.  

Reason why the m4 was "the best gun" for like 2 years untill they nerfed it, people began to cry, they "slightly" nerfed it.
50k$ and it competes with almost only souizen/bar/mp6/bag and beats the MT/Sten good.

Its funny they dont want to nerf guns just because ppl would cry, right?
Skill, something players don't know.  

It's not about pleasing the staff, it's about pleasing the players. Nothing good comes from ignoring the players you're developing content for, are you mad?

So by letting the problem linger instead of making it slowly get better over time, it pleases more people in the end? Explain your logic.

I never said that; don't put words in my mouth. Explain your logic. You're suggesting that staff completely ignore players and their thoughts on weapon stats, which is stupid. If you've ever managed any kind of project or have taken part in a development project, you'll understand that rule #1 is listen to the players you're developing for. What you're suggesting is just silly.  

Players suggest you make a gun with inf clip, 100 dmg and cross map spread 50 shots at a time.

Okay I'll explain my logic.

Buffs/nerfs aren't meant to "please" anyone. They're meant to improve the game. And a lot of the time, I doubt most players don't appreciate a balanced, good game. You will always have complaints, even if its for the best. Don't base decisions entirely off of what players want, because more often than not, especially on iEra, players don't know what they want.
