Jesus dude you realize how extremelly popular this game was at release? Not having shotguns was a problem for YOU guys, the problem was how empty shelled the game was at release resulting in a MASSIVE playerbase drop once people hit max power. PvP was by far in its best state and wouldve been very good with S1s balancing and removal of radar. Saying that the removal of the special slot nearly broke the game is such a biased opinion, what broke the game is all the shitty antics they put behind this game and how sloppy made this game is/was. The backlash came from the xp throttling, CoO and the winter event.
