dmg04, "Why did we nerf Scout Rifles? We don't know. We don't really know why we nerf anything! Lotsa times it's because a streamer or two said something about it, and as they are the only ones playing the game seriously, we thought a nerf must be needed. Players must realise that we really don't know what we're doing. We're just techy sort of guys, who can write game code, but we don't really know what makes a good game. We get all sorts of feed back, but we're sure the players don't know what they're talking about, because they don't make money out of the game. We have all sorts of stats, like how many hits and misses by Scout Rifles, f'rinstance, but if it goes against our feelings, it must be wrong. I mean, take mods f'rinstance again. It turned out that the Mods were, like, maybe a bit too sorta numerous? As if any one could say a hundred an hour was numerous. Right? So, we decided to, as a sorta small, subtle, well meaning correction, without actually going overboard about it, reduce that to nothing. Well, not nothing. Just one or two a week. We think players will love that! Now that that's explained, more on infusion next week. If I'm not too busy nerfing Fusion Rifles."
