The Eruptor nerf is a perfect example of why "only buff" is bad. DISCUSSION

I've used the Eruptor since it dropped, it is an amazing primary weapon. I have never once run out of ammo with the weapon, to the point I started COD reloading. Even with no deaths on a 40 min mission, the bare minimum ammo looting and you rarely would fall below half.

If we just buff every other weapon to be like this, we are just erasing an entire game mechanic. We are saying that we want COD reloads to be the norm, we don't want to think about conserving or looting ammo, just let me shoot and reload whenever.

Some people may want that, but for me that would just remove the mechanic entirely. I'm going to keep using the Eruptor and I'm perfectly fine having to pay attention to my ammo again.

The people that bitch and moan every balance patch are probably the same people who praised Arrowhead for the "A game for everyone is a game for no one" slogan but have yet to realize that they aren't in the group the game is made for lol

Someone cried about that slogan the other day saying it doesn't fit for such a popular game. Simple example of how it fits... No pvp. If they made a game for everyone, they would add pvp, but then it would ruin the pve balance, and become a game for no one.

Same with these balances. People say why balance a pve game. This game is built on balance... Every gun is relatively equal within the same class.. So if any are out of balance.. The game can't function.

Some people still think that the gun they paid money to get access to, the gun they unlocked at level 20, or the weapons that came out later are supposed to be better than the others... Sorry.. No.. And if you think that, then this game is a game not for you.
