2) Many pistoleers feel that their attacks are generic. Vanilla random HAM is a big issue. Do the devs intend to "spice up" the profession?

From the list Randonb linked to I would say 2,3 and 4 are the most pressing concerns for me. If I had to just pick one I would prob go with....#2.

Personally I have two I would choose to ask, for the sake of my sanity. The first is a bit...of a dream that it might get answered, but the other is more realistic.

A) Pistoleer, as a profession, is more useless then even carbiner, many MANY reasons by players have been stated why, even developers have come forward to admit that to make pistoleer more powerful we should look to smuggler, or BH. I would like an honest answer, without any bull**edit**, double speak, or company propaganda to keep up moral(because devs, TH, folks lets face it, pistoleers have none anymore, nothing you can say can make things WORSE) to the following question. When will pistoleer, as an elite combat profession be brought in line with the others that also cost 92 skillpoints to master. This isnt a question in reality that can be answered with a simple "in the combat balance, when ever that is" answer. This is deeply involving and has many route causes. As a pistoleer I can assure you my PAYMENTS WILL NOT LAST if the above question is not answered with something tangable, a simple "combat balance" will not state me, nor do I imagine many MANY other pistoleers. Rifleman reciveved a fix(removing the pistoleer niche in combat I may add), carbiners also reciveda lackluster, but stillhelpful fix. When will MY PROFESSION, when will OUR Profession be worth 92 skillpoints? I"m not asking for a general idea, I DEMAND a answer, one that is in months, or weeks, something definitive. I DEMAND WITH MY DOLARS a REAL RESPONSE!

I would like to add I'm getting bloody tired of this compile a lists of wrongs in your profession and send them to not be answered. Our last two lists reviced no response. The previous lists were answered with the most vauge responses humanily possible(perhaps they use a computer to make them up?). Obviously this once every two week bull**edit** is an attempt to string us along, by the time all our questions have been answered(with most certainly lack luster repsones using bull**edit**, double speak, and company propaganda) the space expansion will be coming out shortly there after.

I AM TIRED OF THIS BULL**edit**. I know I am not the only one. There is plenty to do in this game, but I have done most of it. I am bloody well tired of HAVING to spend 3 times as much money as everyone else on guns just to comete, I am bloody tired of spending all that much and still losing to someone who spent less, in time, in player skill, and in money simply because he had a BETTER PROFESSION. There is indeed an argument to be made for "player skill" in this game, two players will exactly the same equipment will duel, the BETTER player will win because he knows what to do and when. I'm sorry, but as a pistoleer, all I can do is fire my 400 max player made geo using fanshot, healthshot 2, and hope for my pistolmelee defense 1 to land. This profession isnt just broken, its so badly underpowered, under developed, and just plain under SKILLED, that even the MOST skill pistoleers will lose to an equally player skilled rifleman, or even carbiners, simply because we lack the tools to do the job. Pointing out that I can pick up BH or smuggler is a bull**edit** response and I would ask anyone who brings this up to prove their bloody point. 92 skill points is 92 skill points is it not? To be completely honest, my friends, like Tyl'cellesse, and others are the ONLY reason I evne bother logging in anymore...give me a **edit**ING REASON TO STAY.
