The whole game slowly changes to a money making maschine for the devs. What you get from any special event is decreasing since long and the points where you have to pay are getting more and more. It's like in many other games - money making is much more important than the players, their wishes or suggestions.
this shows how the EM-RIFLE nerf was their choice and not the febecks of the committee after the avalanche of protests and complaints. they still act according to their thoughts, in fact as the 2 game designers say in the video, HOW THEY SEE IT IN THEIR HEADS,,, that doesn't mean that what they see is what the players expect...
Way back when they bought the pilots in at the first time nobody said that they wanted them but they brought them in anyway and then the pilots then came all the implants and all that s*** that cost more money screw them
It's all just more and more ways to get $$$ from ou. Notice how EACH AND EVERY new item, or "feature" comes along with a price tag? Nothing is just a free gimme to the community, it's all "Give us yourmoney!"
